We are at it...

I've had to make a few adjustments to contrib/gcc to get it to compile
proberly as an ELF compiler. The binutils is in place. I've relinked
the entire a.out system as static (so I won't get conflicting ELF libs)

And now the BINFORMAT=elf make world is humbling along (mind this is a
100Mhz 486 machine). The big question is if it works :)
