is there a library for executing binaries from a running program? i poked around and found chishm's exec stub but nothing specific to the gba...

Wouldn't you just branch to the start of the code you wanted to run?

Miked0801's suggestion may require the use of a custom link script (to put code into EWRAM at foo) or possibly -fPIC (to make code that takes a speed/size hit in favor of being able to run from any location in IWRAM, EWRAM, or VRAM).
Here's what my Multiboot Menu does:
- Make some sort of file system in ROM space (such as GBFS, PogoShell FS, FCSR, or Zip Store).
- Using code in IWRAM or ROM, copy .mb binaries to the start of EWRAM.
- Clear everything but IWRAM and EWRAM using RegisterRamReset(0xFC).
- Jump to the IWRAM entry point.
Really, the solution depends on what kind of "binaries" moonlightcheese wants to run.
