Speaking from a point of complete ignorance:  can the elf->coff converter tool 
simply
rename every segment found in the FLASH section into one .text section for the 
purposes
of output?  Does the COFF parser care about different sections anyway?  All the 
linking
has been done at this point, right?  So renaming sections shouldn't bother the 
code.
