Q: support for LE (Linear Executable) files?

The bfd/ directory is where you should begin.  You will need to create a 
new file in here along the lines of some of the file-format specific 
files that already exist, eg pef.c, vms.c, oasys.c

Of particular interest will be the LE_object_p() function whose purpose 
is to recognise when a particular file is in LE format.

You may want to create an entirely new configure target for files of 
this format, or you may to add support for this format to an already 
existing target (eg mingw32, or cygwin).  Either way you will need to 
modify the bfd/config.bfd and ld/configure.tgt files, and probably the 
bfd/archures.c and bfd/reloc.c files.

Feel free to ask questions on this list if you have problems.

Cheers
