Use MFile:
<http://www.sax.de/~joerg/mfile/>
to generate a makefile for AVR-GCC. There are downloads for either Windows or 
*nix. The Windows makefile that is generated is based on the WinAVR sample 
makefile. If you look through that, you'll notice that the ELF file that the 
linker generates, is converted to an Intel Hex format by the program avr-
objcopy. This is a common format that is used for "load files" for embedded 
systems. The Intel Hex format is understood by uisp, avrdude, and avarice.
