I would guess that part to be not too difficult.  Simply changing the
configure script
to select elf files instead of coff.  Could be more work but I doubt it.
The bigger issue (aside from the whole stub thing), is configuring gcc to
produce elf.  This would require major rewrites of the target macros.
