Hi net-filk,

I want to use my Atari to compile and link programs for vanilla 68000
single board micros.  The run-time support routines etc are not a
problem, neither is finding a suitable assembler or compiler, but
finding a suitable linker *is*.  All the ST linkers that I've looked at
(GST, D.R....) are only suitable for producing ST applications. 

Does anyone know of a linker that runs on the ST, will produce S-records
(non-relocatable), and allows me to specify address information on a
segment by segment basis? That last requirement is the really important
one; for example a system might be partially in ROM and partially in
RAM, as well as having some memory-mapped I/O etc etc....  I want my
linker to resolve all that for me!

I've used 68000 cross-development systems on VAXen that do all these
things:  anyone know of one that runs on te Atari?  Either whole
development systems or just D.R. compatible linkers.

Thanks in advance,
				Steve.
