Basic infrastructure for support ELF binaries is in place on FreeBSD,
and I am 99% both NetBSD and OpenBSD have EM_PARISC in their
elf_common.h's.

Although there still are some additional things which might need to
be added, I will go through my HP-RISC ABI docs again.

The main idea will be people who actually have access to such a beast,
to start messing around with the hardware probes and getting specs
for the hardware.

I wish you luck, since HP isn't very forthcoming with technical
information. [I am still struggling to get ahold of the J2970A NIC
techdocs]

If we continue this thread we probably need to relocate it to the
appropriate hacker/tech lists.

Kind regards,
