Err yes - this is what the toolchain that you have built will do.
Both the output of the GCC/Binutils toolchain that you have built and
the output of the CCS compiler that you are using will run on the
C54x.  The problem is that the two compiler toolchains are using
different output formats.

Yes.  Try using the "objdump -p" command.  If objdump can recognise
the file format it will tell you.  If not it will issue a wanring
message.
