Converting aout objs to elf??

[Ralph Seguin]

Hi.
We have a  library from a vendor that is compiled aout and we are using ELF
everywhere else.  We do not have source to and CANNOT get them to provide an
ELF version.

I seem to remember seeing something a long time ago about converting aout
object files to ELF.

Is there an easy means of converting a library of AOUT objects into a (shared)
ELF library?

What if the library was built aout on FreeBSD 2.2.8, but we are now up to
3.3-RELEASE?

What other sorts of issues are we going to run into?

...

Thanks.
