The Linux ELF HOWTO

Hello.
In the last two weeks, I've faced the problem of jump-table -> ELF migration.
This is a real problem because the Linux binary format is destined to migrate
to ELF and sooner or later we will be forced to re-install all the binaries
or re-compile them. (Unless we want to have systems in an half-way state with both
ELF and jump-table libraries for long time.)
I had started to ask around where could I find ELF gcc/gas/gld/libc ELF
binaries; unfortunately no one gave me useful information.
After this first try, I've decided to bootstrap an ELF development package
on my own.
I have collected all the stages in this HOWTO, the ELF-HOWTO.
