No, the .lib file pretty much implements the C run-time library.  If
you go to the CC65 sources, you can get the source code to the apple2
library.  If I recall, it's all assembler.

Take a look at using apple2.cfg.  In one project I have here, it looks
like this:

MEMORY {
    ZP: start = $00, size = $1A, type = rw;
    RAM: start = $800, size = $8E00, file = %O;
}
SEGMENTS {
    CODE: load = RAM, type = ro;
    RODATA: load = RAM, type = ro;
    DATA: load = RAM, type = rw;
    BSS: load = RAM, type = bss, define = yes;
    ZEROPAGE: load = ZP, type = zp;
}
FEATURES {
    CONDES: segment = RODATA,
	    type = constructor,
	    label = __CONSTRUCTOR_TABLE__,
	    count = __CONSTRUCTOR_COUNT__;
    CONDES: segment = RODATA,
	    type = destructor,
	    label = __DESTRUCTOR_TABLE__,
	    count = __DESTRUCTOR_COUNT__;
}
SYMBOLS {
    __STACKSIZE__ = $800;	# 2K stack
}


As you can see, the RAM: start = $800 can be modified.  But in
general, the CC65 C compiler generates relocatable code.

No, I am quite sure it does not support 65816 code generation.
