-The coff patches intend to do the following :
-
-   . Generate coff files very compatible with vanilla linker.
-   . Understands coff debug directives.
-
-Here are the guidelines of the work I have done :
-
-   . Encapsulate format dependent code in macros where it is possible.
-   . Where not possible differenciate with #ifdef
-   . try not to change the calling conventions of the existing functions. 
-	I made one exception : symbol_new. I would be pleased to hear about
-	a better solution. (symbols.c)
-   . Extend the use of N_TYPE_seg seg_N_TYPE tables so that segments can
-	be manipulated without using their format dependent name. (subsegs.c)
-   . Write a function to parse the .def debug directives
-   . Write two small peaces of code to handle the .ln directive.
-   . In write.c try to move all the cross compilation specifics (md_..) to
-     format dependent files.
-   . Encapsulate the data structures using generic types, macros calls.
-   . Added too much code to resolve the complexity of the symbol table
-     generated. Most of the code deals with debug stuff.
-   . Create another makefile, shorter, cleaner.
-   . Create a config.gas shell script to mimic the gcc,gdb... configuration
-	mechanism. This reduce the complexity of the makefile.
-   . Isolate the format dependent code in two files 
-	coff.c coff.h
-	aout.c aout.h
-	elf.c elf.h    [ Not yet ;-]
-   . added a little stack management routine for coff in file stack.c
-   . isolate os specific flags in m- files
-
-If further development is planed on it is should solve the following problems :
-
-   . Encapsulate DESC & OTHER tests in a macro call. I'm not aware
-	of their exact semantics.
-   . Clean up the seg_N_TYPE N_TYPE_seg naming scheme
-   . Try to remove as much reference to segment dependent names as possible
-   . Find a cleaner solution for symbol_new.
-   . Report the modifications on vax, ns32k, sparc machine dependent files.
-	To acheive this goal, search for \<N_, sy_, symbol_new and symbolS.
-   . Allow an arbitrary number of segments (spare sections .ctor .dtor .bletch)
-   . Find a way to extend the debug information without breaking sdb
-     compatibility. Mainly intended for G++.
-   . should it do something to generate shared libraries objects ?
-
-I have tested this code on the following processor/os. gcc-1.37.1 was
-   used for all the tests.
