Hi Again,

I think I have worked out my question, but before I go an do some work
can someone answer me:

As the target powerpc-*-beos already exists making coff's do I need to
create a new platform powerpc-*-haiku that will make elf's, or is
there anyway to specify that -powerpc-*-beos can produce elf's too?
