ihex output from ld (2.13)erroneous?

[Peter Janhall]

Hello GNU.

There seems to be a problem when making ld produce ihex output files.

I made a small C-program for an Atmel ATMega128, which did not execute.
'ld' was set up to produce ihex for the AVR Studio programmer.

To be able to see if the program looked as expected in assembler, I made
a link with elf output. The prints from 'objdump -d' seemed OK.
When I fed it through the AVR Studio assembler it worked.

The ihex output from 'objcopy -O ihex tmain.elf tmain.hex' compares well with 
the output from the AVR assembler. (This will be the work around)

Best regards
Peter Janhäll
