Look at binutils from the GNU distribution. There is a program called
'objcopy' that will allow you to do this. I've taken COFF executables from
SCO UNIX and put them on my Solaris 2.5 X86 box and done a:


objcopy -I coff-i386 -O elf32-i386 sco_coff_file new_elf_file


The resulting file, 'new_elf_file', will actually be an ELF file now
that will execute on Solaris x86. Of course, ALL executables may not
work; your mileage may vary.
