Both possible and easy. You need a flag on the linker, not the
compiler. On Gnu "ld" set "-oformat srec", or from the GCC command
line use "-Xlinker -oformat -Xlinker srec".


Use "objdump -i" to make sure your Gnu tools are configured to
generate "srec" output.

Also true. Though, of course, gas generates a lot more than just
a.out these days -- the default is ELF on many platforms.
