When you combine -E and -o the outputfile produced is the preprocessed
C source - and not the objectfile.
So the script behing "MKELF" complains that the file is not an ELF file
which is correct.
It will obviously have impact when you replace the .o files with preprocessed
output. The linker will also complain a bit.
