The SparcLinux people early on had an ELF to a.out converter so people
could do development under Solaris. More generally, the GNU binutils
use a library called BFD (binary file description) for managing object
file formats. One of the utils is called 'objcopy' that can be made to
read one format and copy the file using another. If what you want
isn't there already, it should not be hard to build from the base
facilities that are there.


You can get the current binutils from prep.ai.mit.edu, or any
convenient GNU mirror.
