Help with Object File formats, Motorola 68K Assembler.

[Krishna Seshadri]

Hi.

I am working with the BCC Motorola 68332 microcontroller. It is object
code compatible with the MC68000 family of processors. I use the Microtec
Compiler and Assembler. This compiler/assembler generates files in the
IEEE 695 format. I would like to link this IEEE 695 object with other
objects, that have file formats called COFF.

Does anyone know about any file conversion utility that would enable me to
link the IEEE 695 and COFF objects?

Also, does anybody know if I can get my hands on a freeware macro
assembler that generates object files in the COFF format?

Thanks in advance. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The GNU binutils-2.0 release includes a linker that can handle
both formats (at the same time), as well as 'copy', an object-file
conversion utility. This is available in binutils-2.0.tar.Z on
GNU archives everywhere (such as pub/gnu on prep.ai.mit.edu).

I think the next release of the GNU assembler (gas) will be able
to do this. A near-future relase certainly will be able to.
