possible? yeah. practical? Well, until you have the elf-executable loader
that works in DOS, there is little reason for djgpp to generate ELF
binaries and shared libraries. Heck, you can generate ELF binaries and
shared libraries from other platform such as gcc under Linux. It's just
the elf loader that needs to be made/worked on.

Is there one in progress? I might be willing to pitch in.

Later.
