a 'real' GNU a.out --> ACK a.out conversion program is a mess since GU
supports text/data/bss, whereas ACK has a section concept.

While this makes a ACK --> GNU converter impossible (imagine the .rom
secton), with some definitions
text segment --> section called .text
data segment --> section called .data
bss  segment --> section called .bss

and an extra (empty) section .rom such a converter might be possible,
but I see no application.
