Linker now looking for elf file after many years

Hi, I have an ESp32 project many years being used already. I was looking at debug options and next compile got a script error "\tools\\sdk\\esp32\\bin\\bootloader_dio_80m.elf" not found.
All I ever had was: "\tools\\sdk\\bin\\bootloader_dio_80m.bin"

I dont understand how to solve this issue. Do I recompile the bootloader source to produce a .elf file?
Stuck with a deadline to find some reset bug in my code now.
Any help would be most welcome.

Thanks for the info.

An initial test would be to determine if the following command works. If it doesn't find a bootloader in various places the last attempt is to create one into the build folder.

ptool.exe" --chip esp32 elf2image --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 16MB -o ATWEB3.ino.bootloader.bin" s\sdk\esp32\bin\bootloader_dio_80m.elf"

You can see the full command near the end of your build output. The forum messes with the output in these messages so look for:- esptool.exe" --chip esp32 elf2image
