[LLVMdev] generating ELF files on non-ELF platforms with MC

Well... What will you do if you will need to support some
windows-specific binary stuff which does not exist in ELF world? I
cannot think about something in this area off-hand, but there might be
something here.
And surely there are MachO features which do not exist in ELF world.
