From Dave:
That was explained in a previous response: objcopy thinks that the srec
specification requires that this be the case.
So since this isn't the case is there someone to contact who would consider
adding this... the objcopy guru.
Why does it think this? I don't know. Its authors` interpretation of the
specification I would suppose.
Since you know that dos2unix will make it work with your target, what is
the problem with using it?
Hmm... same reason I fixed my tire instead of just pumping it up with air
every day ;-)
No seriously, why not make it right to begin with. It just seems odd to
everyone I know that we are using Linux etc. and then we are getting this
DOS file out of it that we have to teach everyone to use this dos2unix
command - then lots of them don't even have dos2unix installed on their PCs,
to "fix" the srecord file. The windows guys just think it is funny...
