I think this may depend on the particular linker.  I haven't examined the
"real" specs for the file format, but some descriptions that I have seen
mater-of-fact'ly state that each line ends in CR/LF.  But as you say SDCC
doesn't do that, there is only a linefeed.  My advice is to expect both if
you are going to parse a hex file.  ;-)
