Can't you write a little command line program in (C, BASIC, Perl,
whatever you like) that will copy a text file (that's all an Intel hex
file really is) to a new file, verifying that the first line contains
":020000020000FC", and leaving that line out of the copy?

You could add it to your makefile and it would add a fraction of a
second or so to your build.

Sometimes the simplest solution, especially if you are a programmer,
is to roll your own.
