I'm maintaining a couple of ports which use X86 ASM in places for
speed.  With the transition to ELF, I need to maintain two versions
of the ASM files on account of the different handling of exported
symbols (the leading `_' problem :().

In general, I can see the need for maintaining different versions of
patch files, PLIST files. etc. for the ELF and a.out ports.

Is there a recommended way to handle these kinds of ELF/a.out 
dependencies?

Thanks,
Koshy
