ELF upgrade _was_ fairly straightforward -- just follow the HOWTO --
 when we had gcc-2.7.0, libc-5.0.9 and binutils-whatever-the-version-was.  
Last I heard binaries of gcc-2.7.2 didn't have a.out support compiled in, when 
upgrading to libc-5.2.whatever you had to upgrade make, and I don't remember 
what there was about binutils.
Why don't you upgrade to Redhat or soon-to-be-released ELF Debian?
(especially considering the fact that the easiest way to upgrade Slackware is
to reinstall it completely :)
