JPI offers a program called M2LOCATE in the technical kit for their modula-2
compiler that can be used (they say) to produce ROMable code.  Unfortunately,
some procedures in the AsmLib and SYSTEM modules are self-modufying and thus
not ROMable.  I've never tried this, so I can't tell you how well it works.
