I suppose you mis-parsed my question: Solaris and IRIX *are* ELF targets
(just not Linux, so using the system linker, not GNU ld).  If I understand
you correctly, they might just work (modulo bugs)?

The only other target of interest to me is Tru64 UNIX, which uses ECOFF,
not ELF.  I don't know if that format is extensible enough to store the IL,
but investigating that is low priority for me.

Thanks.
