FW: coffHexSh and linker sections

[Teri McManus]

I am using Tornado 1.0.1 for the Hitachi SH2 with GNU compiler, linker &
assembler and am having problems with the coffHexSh.exe binary utility.

Using the GNU linker command file (shown below), the coffHexSh program is
transferring both the PCOMMON section and the .data section from the binary
COFF SH file to the HEX file. We only want the .data section to be
transferred.

Does anyone know how to prevent the PCOMMON section from being transferred
to the HEX file?

Thank you in advance for your help.
