This must be one of those `east coast' vs `west coast' things ....
east$ echo My OS supports `ls bfd/elf32* | wc -l` PLATFORMs.
west$ echo My PLATFORM supports `ls bfd/i386* | wc -l` OSs.

More seriously, are the key changes I've put forward to
libaout.h/aoutx.h/aout-target.h being integrated? Things like:
o fix-{incomming/outgoing}-header
o extended relocation call back and predicate
o callback to confirm arch/machine support for new objects
o generic aout-target.h so can create multiple backends
o aout-target.h allows more general BFD_AND_EXEC_OK over
MACHTYPE_OK.
