On HPUX 11, the HP compiler generates 32bit code in the SOM (sp?)
format by default. But you can use a switch to generate 64bit code,
which will be in ELF. Also there are 2 versions of HPUX 11, one is
32bit and the other is 64bit.
If egcs will support HPUX 11, do we support both 32bit and 64bit?
Which binary format do we use? Do we support both binary formats?
BTW, with ELF in HPUX 11, can ld in binutils work on HPUX 11 in ELF?
