Get the DJGPP FAQ list (faq102.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) and 
read sections 17.1 and 17.2 there.  Apparently, MASM 6.11 has an option 
to generate COFF.  A Sed script which should do most of the work to 
convert Intel to AT&T format was posted to this newsgroup and can be 
found at this URL:

An OBJ to COFF converter can be found at this URL:
