Does binutils support multi-target at the same time?

[WU Zilong]

Yes, I wish to convert arm-wince-pe targeted object code to elf object
format so that I can use it under arm linux ... (the object file is
pure algorithm module and does not call any external functions). From
your reply I think it is possible to use binutils to convert it,
right?

Thanks for you help.
