Hello !

I wonder if it is possible to generate COFF format for
the SUN SPARC machine instead of the a.out format ?
If not, is there any plans of making this possible in
the future ? My reason for asking is that I want to write
my own linker and therefore would like to use a somewhat
more standardized format.

By the way, how do I find the papers, refered in the gcc man-page :

 Using as: the GNU Assembler, Dean  Elsner,  Jay
     Fenlason  &  friends, March 1991; gld: the GNU linker, Steve
     Chamberlain and Roland Pesch, April 1991.

Many thanks !
