The elf2aout
utility is used to convert
native NetBSD ELF binaries to a.out format, for
compatibility with bootblocks and kernel-reading utilities like
kvm(3), which currently expect an
a.out format kernel.
The following options are available:
elf2aout
was originally developed for
NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed
with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1.
elf2aout
assumes there are no multiply-referenced
symbols in the input ELF symbol section. It may be necessary to link with
-x
to avoid such duplicate symbols.
In some environments, the GNU binutils
objcopy(1) utility may be a
better solution than elf2aout
.
