[Bug ld/641] New: file format not recognized; treating as linker script

[jeff at connectrf dot com]

Compile seems to work fine but will not link.  Any thoughts?

This is not a gcc bug, either this is your bug and the .o file is not an object
file or this is a binutils bug.

Andrew, then perhaps you can explain why the exact same code compiles, links and
runs fine in a Microsoft environment?  So the only thing that has changed is I
am using GCC....  Hmmmmm..

But GCC is only the compiler, not the assembler and linker, report this to the
binutils project, <http://
sourceware.org/bugzilla/> which controls both the assembler and the linker, yes
this is confusing but 
correct.
