Doubt in file formats

[Naveen Malik]

Hi there,

I had also posted the same query on the help net but could'nt get any reply
from any gcc gurus.

Even if we take the case of embedded applications, we have -coff, -aout
and -elf formats there. but I am also not sure about the exact differences
in these formats.

Please, if any of the you in the gcc-help mailing list have answer, kindly
resolve the issue.

Regards

Naveen Malik
