 * I'm not still sure how to handle ports that require different patches to
 * be applied when compiling for ELF vs when compiling for AOUT.  Typically 
 * these ports will be attempting to optimize for the machine architecture
 * by writing performance critical portions of the code in assembly.
 * (Eg:- look at audio/mpg123 or lang/caml-light or graphics/xaos).  
 * 
 * The problem is that we need to apply slightly different patches in these 
 * cases in order to handle the leading underscore problem.

Can't you just use #ifdef?
