if i were you, i'd grab some ELF read/write routines from the web and
then add COFF/ELF output to your compiler..... while i guess the
format itself is somewhat overkill for cc65 aswell, it won't hurt to
support it either ;) and the good thing, a whole fuckin lot of gcc/gnu
binutils will all of a sudden work with these files just fine ;) i
guess you could even use the gnu linker then...... and with some
effort one could even write a module for gdb ..... (dreaming... ;D)
