Hi!
	We have been using Microtec�s ASM68K and LNK68K for a long 
time for embedded software development. We use an specially designed 
hardware loader which understands the .ABS format which the Microtec 
linker outputs (IEEE 695) so we need to be able to produce final .ABS 
files in this format.
	We wanted to do some coding in C and C++ and we had thought 
of doing it with the GNU GCC compiler as the Microtec compiler is too 
expensive for us. As far as I can see we have 4 different 
alternatives:

	- Configure the GCC compiler to produce .S files which could 
be assembled by the ASM68K assembler
	- Configure the GCC compiler and assembler to produce .O 
files which could be understood by the LNK68K linker (it understands 
the IEEE 695 Microtec format)
	- Configure the GCC compiler, assembler and linker to produce 
.ABS files in the IEEE 695 Microtec format
	- Configure the GCC compiler to produce standard A.OUT files 
and then build an utility which translated this format into .ABS 
files in the IEEE 695 Microtec format

	So, our questions are:

	- Has anyone done or attemped something similar in the past?
	- Which of the options do you think would be easier to 
implement?
	- Do you know if GCC can be configured to produce IEEE 695 
Microtec object or absolute format?
	- Do you know if the assembly output by GCC can be configured 
to be undertstandable by the Microtec assembler?
	- Do you have any other suggestions or help with this issue?

	Thanks in advance!
