ld --oformat binary

[Kristis Makris]

Hello,

I've been trying to create a plain binary file using the linker with the
following line:

$ ld -R ../../../../kernel/kernel-source-2.4.20.mod/vmlinux -r
dynreplace_scheduler_v3.o -o dynreplace_file.o --oformat binary
ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386
(dynreplace_scheduler_v3.o) to format binary (dynreplace_file.o) is not
supported

To the best of your guys knowledge, is there any technical limitation
that would prohibit supporting that feature, or does that feature just
happen not to be implemented at this time ? I could use that feature and
I'm wondering if it would be accepted to ld if I was to implement it.

Thanks,
Kristis
