Hmm, while you could maintain that as a private hack, I somewhat doubt
a hack for a single, really unimportant (from binutil's point of view)
target would get acceptance for that kind of code change.

If at all, then you'd probably need to hack that up so *any* supported
controller-like CPU could use it, and then just handle the AVR as a
single instance of such a controller.

Even for the AVR, I think you should not change default formats.
Other people's scripts could easily stumble across it, as they might
assume the 20+ years historical BSD output format to be the default.
