In general I think it's unfixable.  Yes, you were able to come
up with something that worked for i386, but not for targets that
require non-trivial bookkeeping during final link -- ia64 and 
alpha come to mind here.

Besides, I think such is a waste of time and effort.  If you 
want S-records, we have this nice objcopy utiltity.
