<div>I just replied with this in another thread:</div>

</div>
<div>"It's currently still available. The basic idea is that
we'd be working on getting each of the llvm tools or
libraries with a front end that is command line compatible
with the GNU binutils counterpart to serve as a
replacement. Whether or not we made them output compatible
is something else, but we'll probably want to have a
couple different modes there from:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a) The compatible tool,</div>
<div>b) The tool we all want.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A and B could be the same, but then again, they might
not. The low bar for the SoC project is going to be A."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And in priority order I'd probably want to finish off
objcopy support (see the recent thread on llvm-dev) and
objdump/readobj/readelf and then go from there.</div>

<div>Thoughts?</div>

I saw the thread you are talking about. So basically, the idea would
be to do the correct calls for either COFF subset of functions of
ELF ones wether we have a COFF or ELF file as an input.<br>
Am I right ?<br>
<br>
I am really interested in doing a proposal for this subject. What do
you expect to be in it ? I was actually thinking of something like
exposing the things I've done in LLVM/CLang, the schedule for the 3
months (but for this, I need to talk with you about the high
priority tools, as I'm not sure it is possible to do all the
frontend tools in such amount of time)..<br>
<br>
Anyway, I am really happy that you answered my email. Hope to hear
from you soon !<br>
