>Description:
I am using arm-aout cross compiler. I build it like that:

$ ./configure --target=arm-aout --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
# make install prefix=/usr/local

The system has (arm-aout-)binutils-2.9.5.0.37.

My problem regards about the -oformat linker options.
When passed throught the compiler front-end, 'arm-aout-gcc',
this option is being interpreted by it.
In this case, if I need an 'ihex' format, I will use:

$ arm-aout-gcc -nostdlib -Wl,-oformat -Wl,ihex -o foo foo.c

This command line will produce an error. In gcc-2.95 it 
 worked well. It seems that the option '-oformat' is beeing 
 expanded to '-o format' and then passed to the linker. The
error messages are:

/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/arm-aout/3.1/../../../../arm-aout/bin/nm: format: No such file or directory
collect2: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/arm-aout/3.1/../../../../arm-aout/bin/nm returned 1 exit status

Doing the link by hand it works well:

$ arm-aout-gcc -c foo.c -o foo.o
$ arm-aout-ld -oformat ihex foo.o -o foo

>How-To-Repeat:
$ arm-aout-gcc -Wl,-oformat -Wl,ihex -o foo foo.c
