Sorry and thanks. LD shows support for both ports, but now I get this
error.

mc9s12x-elf-ld  --defsym _start=0800 -o test.elf xgate.o
mc9s12x-elf-ld: mc9xgate architecture of input file `xgate.o' is
incompatible with mc9s12x output

I did a bit of reading saying it's the archures.c file where they are
grouped and deemed compatible/incompatible.  These lines didn't seem to do
the trick.

My bfd.h file in my build directory reads

"
   bfd_arch_mc9s12x,   /* Motorola S12X */
   bfd_arch_mc9xgate,   /* Motorola S12X Xgate Co Processor*/
#define bfd_mach_mc9s12x       1
#define bfd_mach_mc9xgate      2
"

I also added this to my cpu- file.

const bfd_arch_info_type bfd_mc9xgate_info =
{
     16, /* 16 bits in a word */
     32, /* 16 bits in an address */
     8,  /* 8 bits in a byte */
     bfd_arch_mc9xgate,
     bfd_mach_mc9xgate,
     "mc9xgate",
     "mc9xgate",
     4, /* section alignment power */
     TRUE,
     bfd_default_compatible,
     bfd_default_scan,
     0,
};

const bfd_arch_info_type bfd_mc9s12x_arch =
{
     16, /* 16 bits in a word */
     32, /* 16 bits in an address */
     8,  /* 8 bits in a byte */
     bfd_arch_mc9s12x,
     bfd_mach_mc9s12x,
     "mc9s12x",
     "mc9s12x:mc9xgate",
     4, /* section alignment power */
     TRUE,
     bfd_default_compatible,
     bfd_default_scan,
     &bfd_mc9xgate_info,
};


But I still get

"mc9s12x-elf-ld: mc9xgate architecture of input file `xgate.o' is 
incompatible with mc9s12x:mc9xgate output"
