Are you writing the linker's output file directly to srec?  Try
writing to ELF instead, then use objcopy to translate the ELF file to
srec.  I seem to recall a case where the names of the output sections
for srec are hardcoded...

Once you have the ELF file, use objcopy --set-section-flags to tinker
with the CONTENTS, etc. flags if necessary.  I think you want the
section marked CONTENTS+LOAD, at least.


HTH,
