There's not really any concrete plans for a switch to ELF at this time,
but I've been playing around with it.  Eventually, I want to see _all_
NetBSD platforms use ELF, and I happen to have a large number of m68k
systems at home to play with it on :-)

Charles made the changes to the compiler.  I'm not familiar with gcc's
guts at all, so I'd rather let Charles explain what differences the
compiler changes may cause.
