What LDA do you have in mind? Absolute loader binary, for bare metal execution?
I had in mind absolute loader binary for bare metal as a starting point. ...
I am mostly interested in assembly development for my purposes, but it looks like others
have been having pretty good luck with recent gcc on the pdp11-aout target as well.
For the purpose of running the execution tests in the gcc test suite I use a small Python
program to convert a.out to a bare metal load tape. It's a bit clunky and it would be
cleaner if bfd knew how to do this. So I'd have a use for what you're proposing.
I probably wouldn't use it for assembly work, though; the gas assembler is too strange
for one trained on DEC tools.
