+Where can you get the gnu loader? 

The 'gnu' loader may be gotten from 'prep.ai.mit.edu' as with the
other compiler tools. The 'ld' function is part of a set included in
the 'binutils' package, the version I'm using is 1.94-beta(or so).

+Does it have the ability to generate the S-records itself,
+or is there some other utility for this?

The 'ld' function generates only binaries which would execute on the
target 'un*x' style that it's configured for. I don't believe there
is any provision to create any type of 'hex' output. A separate tool
could 'easily' be written.

+
+We have a lot of 68k assembly language files which are written in Motorola 
+and Tektronix assembler formats. Are there any preprocessors which 
+can convert these into gnu assembler format?

There is some rumbling about a 'gas' verion which does allow for
some type of 'motorola' style input but I don't have to deal with
this so I haven't paid much attention. In either case the
'gnu.utils.bug' news group would carry problems with either 'gas' or
'ld', and possible 'wish-list' posts.
