--- Comment #2 from Michael <hackish at gmail dot com> ---
Nick,
I wonder if LD ought to be able to support binary output at all?
I feel that it should, since growth of embedded and IoT type devices is huge
and binary output is needed for most firmware generation. Cross-compilation for
bintools can sometimes be a chore, so being able to generate firmware with only
the GCC/LD may be an asset.
Using objcopy seems like a bit of a "hack", but it is still better than leaving
the problem unfixed. If I had time or skill, I'd submit fixes for all
platforms, unfortunately I do not.
Whichever way the fix is done, thanks for spending time on it.
-Michael
