As far as I know, only NeXT supports the Mach-O object file format.
Various Mach versions use the "native" format, for some definition of
native. For example, the Mach implementation on the MIPS (and
DECstation) use the MIPS variant of COFF with the Third-Eye symbol
table format. The 386 Mach version of Mach uses a.out (I think).

As far as the GNU stuff goes, I think the tools are moving towards
object file independence via a "binary file descriptor" (BFD)
interface.  Someone more knowledgeable can correct me if I'm wrong,
but I think the soon-to-be-released version of gdb (4.0) will use this
interface. I'm not sure about gas-1.39, or about other tools such as
binutils.

Anyone who knows more care to comment?
