Binutils runs on a wide variety of operating systems, from Linux to
Windows to DOS to MacOS.  It shouldn't be much trouble to port to any
other POSIX-based OS.

The way it works is that the OS either loads the binary itself, or
loads the binary specified in the header.  That's all.  The dynamic
loading thing happens when the header says to load the dynamic linker
instead of the binary.  The dynamic linker is a user-space app that
loads the actual binary, including resolving all the shared library
stuff.  The Linux kernel doesn't do any of that.

I think what you said you want and what Linux already does, are very
similar.

I don't understand.  A "toolchain" can run on the native OS, and what
"stubs" are you talking about?
