Looks a bit like it. :-(

No, I *sus*pect it now supports the Extended Linker Format (ELF), whatever that
is and whatever advantages be involved. After all, a couple of months back gcc
was thusly modified, and I vaguely recall wfj going on about using ELF.

Just a thought, though. I haven't seen it, and I haven't seen any proper
information.
