- Eventually, yes. My BFD work so far includes only reading of
- object-files as needed by GDB. For BFD to be useful for the linker,
- it must be able to write amiga style object files as well. I will
- hopefully find some time to do that part as well within the next six
- months (if someone else feels for this and have time, contact me and
- I'll help you get started, it should be quite easy and there's example
- code around. You'd likely need access to a unix system though.); the
- goal for that project is to finally get chip data attributes into
- amiga gcc.
