Hello Mr. Unfortunately no.

Hi,
I think I solved this issue. You can search for 'gcc_compile' in the Makefile, and then you can see a '-o' option in the command 'riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc'. But this is wrong, 'cause you should issue '-c -o' to generate an object file, otherwise an executable is generated instead of an object file.

That's where the error message '/home/juba/riscv-demo/bin/riscv64-unknown-elf-ld: cannot use executable file 'out/seed-14431/instr_gen/asm_tests/riscv_arithmetic_basic_test_0.o' as input to a link' comes from--this previously generated '.o' file is already an executable, and cannot be 'linked' again.

I am wondering if the author/contributor has tested the as-is code/repo before submitting to the github.
Anyway, some debugging info for your reference.

BTW, when executing SPIKE ISS in the steps that follow, remember to modify the executable to '.exe' instead of '.o' files. Otherwise, SPIKE may dump a bunch of strange info instead of successful executions.
