	mv abc.exe abc.axf

Or (on windows)

	rename abc,exe abc.axf

However, your mileage may vary.  ARM never supported debugging
applications with AXD that weren't compiled with ARM's own compilers. 
Although it understands Dwarf, it understands a particular flavour of
dwarf2.  So some features may be somewhat restricted if your code was
compiled with gcc.  You'll stand a much better chance of getting things
to work if you use RVD.
