RTEMS transitioned to ELF for almost every target a long time ago.
Is there any particular reason you are using coff?

Also 2.16.1 is an old binutils which was NOT used with any released
version of RTEMS.

RTEMS 4.6 -> binutils 2.13.2.1
RTEMS 4.7 -> binutils 2.17
RTEMS 4.8 -> binutils 2.18
RTEMS CVS -> binutils 2.18

I don't know the answer to this and will leave it to the binutils experts.
