Hmm. But it'll be the wrong byte order ie. LE. I'd have to compile on my SparcStation, which means slinging off Solaris
and installing NetBSD, which I don't want to do if I can avoid it.
Rafal Boni had a version of elf2ecoff which did the byteorder conversion as well.
That would be cool.

I'm quite some way away from needing that at the moment. I'm just trying to build my own kernel, get it to load at the
right address and start executing.
