Are you aware, that you effectively have a misleading rule now?  The
rule says how to generate ".bin" from ".srec" files, while in the
command pattern you explicitely use none of the prerequisites but the
hand-derived ELF file.  This might potentially mess up make's rule
algorithm.

As I am on holiday right now, I am too lazy to come up with a cleaner
fix, I just wanted to phrase my concern.

Cheers
