You don't need to use the AOUT or COFF output. My suggestion
would be to use `objcopy' to output a 'binary' or SRECORD or
something that you could download into a ROM. Is this what
you are asking to do?
You can then either use LD scripts or `objcopy' parameters to
place certain sections in certain parts of the ROM.
Cheers,
Jake
