Follow-up Comment #1:

ELF file reading has finally been implemented (SVN r1056).  This will
become part of AVRDUDE version 6.

If not configured for ELF processing (since libelf(3) was missing when
compiling), the ELF file is rejected with a message.

AVR COFF has been long obsolete anyway.  The only reason it has still
been kept around was that VMlab cannot handle ELF (alas).  There no
other reason to walk the extra mile in creating a COFF file in the
first place (and besides, should the AVR-COFF patch for binutils ever
break due to massive changes inside binutils itself, I won't maintain
it any further).
