I checked all the BSPs having bsp-post-link in their config file (find . -name *.cfg | xargs -e grep define | grep bsp-post-link) but couldn't find similarity between them (other than "$(OBJCOPY) -O binary --strip-all \ $(basename $@)$(EXEEXT) $(basename $@)$(BINEXT) " in most of them . Sir I wanted to know is there any specific way to categorize them from other BSPs, And I am not able to find similar set of commands in rtems 4.11 (since in project description "https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/4272" its written that post-link was active in earlier versions of rtems).
Also I have started making a draft on this project and wanted to know where I should post it to get some initial reviews on it.
