	Yes, if:

	1)	They could be loaded into kernel memory.

	2)	Their external symbols are appropriately resolved.

	Both of these require knowledge of the binary file format.

	Kurt Mahon is the engineer who wrote the code for UnixWare.

Reading the binary file format of a server ODI file shouldn't be a problem,
as the libbfd shipped with Gnu binutils-2.5.2 can handle it.  Configure with
--enable-targets=all.
