- Actually it would probably be fairly easy at this point to switch from
- using a.out object files to ELF files, pending completion of full
- support for Amiga hunk format. ELF supports multiple sections quite
- easily, so having a ".chip" section would be trivial.
-
- It's also unclear at this point what the PowerPC amiga's will use for
- an object and executable format (I'd prefer ELF but that's just
- because it is a semi-standard that has a proven track record). So the
- longterm viability of the current hunk format is somewhat in doubt.
