In my makefile I added the tar in two steps, create a .o file and then
add it to the link.

I found the following worked when creating the .o file containing the tar

-$(LD) -r --noinhibit-exec -o $@  -b binary $<

I.e. the actual command run is

m68k-rtems4.7-ld -r --noinhibit-exec -o data.o  -b binary data.tar


You need the leading - to ignore the error code returned by LD.

This command line argument also works OK with rtems 4.6 tools.
