Now, Libtool uses it, I'd guess for rather historic purposes, but I'd like confirmation that it's safe to assume ELF object format for FreeBSD versions starting from 4. FYI, this is the proposed patch against Libtool: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2005-08/msg00073.html (Is this the adequate mailing list to ask this, BTW?) Thanks!
