Delicia,
You could try to use/change the 'outputType' sub element of your tool
definition. Changing the 'buildVariable' attribute of the 'outputType'
element might result in the generated .c files not ending up in the objects
macro list, hence not being compiled/linked. You then have to ensure that
your tool is still being executed, so the .c files including your generated
sources should somehow get a dependency on your new buildVariable.
When the generated .c files are however generated within the project
directory you still have a problem, as the updated makefile will probably
include them in the standard .c sources list.
All in all Dereks suggestion might be easier...
