Just as a BTW for people watching from the side, I have been running a
pure-elf -current system for nearly a year.  The system is completely
functional and can generate and run both a.out and elf executables (share=
d
and dynamic) at the drop of a hat.

All that is really missing is a 3 stage boot so that we can squeeze in co=
de
for loading the elf symbol table on an elf kernel.  Presently the BAD144
support has to go to make room, since there are *zero* bytes free at the =

moment.  I've been using both elf and a.out kernels over the last year, =

a.out kernels are needed for ddb's symbol functions at present.

Cheers,
-Peter
