make automatically removes all intermediate files.

If you look to the Makefile, you'll see that .hex and .o
are specified targets:

   OBJS =  $(SRCS:.c=.o)
   TARG =  $(PROJ).hex

   all: $(OBJS) $(TARG) <---- Targets for all

According to Makerules:

   Specified target .hex requires unspecified target .elf
   Unspecified target .elf requires specified targets .o

Thus .elf will be removed, after .hex had been build.

Extending the target list for 'all' will keep .elf

   all: $(OBJS) $(TARG) $(PROJ).elf
