The GNU "binutils" includes some support for IEEE 695 format.
But Cygnus does not support this port, because of various
problems with the format, including poor documentation. But
the existing code may be a good start.

Binutils includes "objcopy", which converts object files, assuming
you have the needed support in the Binary File Descriptor library
used by binutils.
