Yes, I realize how to get it working with ELF.  I still have my elf
utilities configured, however, the conversion isn't too apealing right

Yes, that's what I'm suffering from.  Static C++ binaries don't sound like
too much fun, add statically linked X libs, and I think I'll stick with
the ancient a.out or switch to an ELFified OS.
