As near as I can tell from reading the NetBSD docs, it isn't supported
there either.  NetBSD/i386 supports the same level of mixing that
FreeBSD does.  Both ELF and AOUT can live on the system at the same
time, and the user can control which type of libraries is linked in on
a per executable basis.  But you can't link in the aout libraries
directly.

Every time this comes up, someone says objcopy.  No widespread success
has been reported after someone says this from the original poster.
