I have a GNU a.out --> ST MINIX outmix.h format translator which translates
binaries. Of course, the GNU binaries must be relocatable, and the GEMDOS
relocation table is generated.

I designed this module for use with the GNU linker (i.e. the ld exec's the
conversion program as a last step or simply calls this module).

I have also tried to implement this to work on-file. Text and Data need not
be copied then because the headers are (incidentally) equally long.
But since the files become shorter and MINIX lacks a ftruncate call, thie
produces much junk on disk.
