Hi,

First the key to everything is the LINKER not the compiler.  Second check
your manual carefully since it seems to me that OASYS WILL produce COFF
records.  In fact we have one project here (using OASYS) where we dump
the COFF records directly into our emulator, but have to run a special
utility to generate S2 records when we need to blow proms.
