The addition of ELF support to the source tree is expected soon. This is needed for FreeBSD/Alpha. I think it has been decided to import GNU binutils and do both 32-bit and 64-bit ELF at the same time. This doesn't mean a change from a.out to ELF in that time frame, though. AFAIK, that decision hasn't been made. Regards, -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@netbsd.org; jb@freebsd.org CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137
