I’ve read megabytes of documentation until my eyes started bleeding, but I cannot figure this out. I am writing embedded software for the PC platform, and I need to create executable files that contain just code – no headers or sections – that can be called by the BIOS boot loader. My development platform is Windows, and the majority of the code is written in Ada (GNAT). Is there a way to tell GNATlink or LD to create such an output file, or do I need to build a special version of GCC? If I need a special version of GCC, how do I build it?
