We do this for sparc64 where the prom : wants an a.out binary (elf2aout), and I'm pretty sure for alpha which : might actually use COFF (elf2exe). Actually, objcopy does that fairly well in most cases. And we (or NetBSD) already has an elf2coff and an elf2aout. I think that NetBSD is migrating to the former, but I can't be 100% sure. I gotta get my NetBSD arc box up and running since it requires ECOFF of a weird flavor to boot...
