Re: m68k-coff: Unused memory region included in output file?

BTW, why use "m68k-coff"? Could you use m68k-elf instead?

I think I may have answered that one before, but...


Actually, what I want is plain binary data as produced by ...-objcopy -O binary; I don't have a loader with proper exec format support. I was thinking when I started to use gcc that ELF support would be more difficult to get right since the file format is more complex, and the extra complexity wouldn't give me anything, since I just want the binary data anyway - so I went for COFF. I may have made a wrong assumption, though - ELF might actually be easier these days because there isn't a lot og testing on COFF...
