DIAB 5.2.0.0 Linker issue

Greetings,
When using the DIAB linker for the PPC8250 target I see some anomalies in 
the generated o/p srec. I have a bunch of STORE 0xAABBCCDD, 4 directives in 
the .dld file to put some sort of a header, however I see the 0XAABBCCDD in 
the srec. followed by 12 zero bytes. Anyone encounter this. I guess I should 
use ddump to look at the .elf to see whether there is a goof up there or in 
the ddump from elf to srec conversion. Any pointers?

Instead of using store directives in the dld file, how about creating a
section in the dld file at the location you want the header. Then create
an assembler file that contains the header in the same named function. Add
the file to your source list and then check you map file for the correct
location and header contents. What does your binary output file look like?
That is, is this an SREC issue or a linker output issue?
