Is there any easy way to take a .o file compiled under djgpp and link it
in with other elf libraries to form an elf executable?  Especially when
one of those elf libraries is the stdlib?

I've noticed that an underscore is put in front of symbols in the
coff-i386 file (objdump --syms tells me as much.)  When I try objcopy
-remove-leading-char (spelled correctly of course.), nothing happens.  I'm
thinking it it tries to guess what the common char is by seeing if every
symbol leads with the same char.  However, not all symbols in the
coff-i386 have underscores leading them (.text shows up as a symbol in the
elf-ified translation.)

Help would be appreciated,
greg
