With this approach, makelx has full section, symbol and relocation info
in the .r file, and can do a much better job moving sections around (in
case ld introduces extra alignment and such).
Also you get the chance to disassemble the binary, look at the relocs or
symbols with h8300-hitachi-hms-objdump, a lot better then when looking
at srecs with objdump.
If you need the srecs for anything, you can always use
ld -oformat symbolsrec to relocate the image and generate srecs.

If noone objects, I would implement this. The Makefile changes are • trivial,
only major change is to makelx, which would read coff files. I have done
these things before, so this would not be too hard.

In my opinion this is a great idea! :-) Please do the implementation!

It also could be very usefull to have some docs / makefile options to make
srecs too.

Bye,

(...) Paolo and others: Eddie and I have talked about this, and we both agree that this is a big change- so I think we are aiming for this for 0.2.5.

(...) I have a proposal to the legOS developers: The current tool chain to generate executables for legOS is a little off: We generate coff-h8300 from .c or .S sources, next ld generates symbolsrec relocated files from that. This step is done twice (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
