Ok, this is the reason for the "bug" (in your last mail). cl65 (as all other
tools) parse the command line from left to right. As soon as a file name is
reached, the corresponding subcommand is executed. So in your case, -o and its
argument are actually ignored.

The reasoning behind this is that you can apply different switches to
different source files on the command line:

  cl65 -S -o foo/test.s -Oirs test.c -T -g -o bar/test1.s -O test1.c

This generates foo/test.s without debug info but with full optimization and
bar/test1.s with less optimization but with debug info and source lines.
                   
So just remember to place your source files at the end of the line and things
will be fine.

It's difficult for a tool to try to read the masters mind, and therefore I'm
not sure if not someone else would argue different.
