I was mininterpreting the error messages. The file format ld was
complaining about was and incorrent input file. I guess ld can
produce srec format, but again an email in another forum points out
that the relocation is not correct when offset with -Ttext for the
srec output. I guess I'm not surprised since it was probably not
tested in the past. Clearly not all of those supported targets make
sense, so that list should be reduced.
