Subject: objcopy converting a.out to ELF with DWARF2 for i386
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 1999 12:35:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <004301be69a3$043ffa40$3ca6b6cc@kastner.arium.com> (raw)

The company I work for would like to work with ELF/DWARF2 files.
However our user base still uses older a.out.  We are looking into using
objcopy on a.out to produce ELF/DWARF2.  We don't require perfect 
fidelity but  we are looking for a strong interim solution.  We only need 
an i386 solution (a.out-i386 to elf32-i386).

Is anyone out there currently doing a similar extension to the tools?

Is anyone out there interested in receiving our extensions if and when
we produce them?

I welcome helpful comments and suggestions.
