This is really strange. I have RedHat 7.1
installed on a x86 system, and it appears
to be MISSING the COFF format from its BFD
libraries. I have a kernel that's both in
ASM and C, so I need to use a linker(ld).
I tried using ELF, but it has problems
with external symbols. I've tried
reinstalling bin-tools, but it didn't help.
Anybody have any pointers on using ELF for
C/ASM combos?

Never mind, got it!

Just curious, was it a Redhat problem or something else?

Oh, just me being dumb
When I compiled bin-utils, I thought it
would set everything up automatically,
but it only provided me with a bare-bones
set-up(Only ELF linking).
I just re-compiled it with enable-targets=all
, and now I can link whatever I want(in whatever
format:) However, while the build took about 5
minutes, the re-build took 45 minutes!
