Can objcopy(1) handle coff? (was update math/mprime)

Mon May 23 18:59:46 PDT 2005

Hi,

	I am having trouble updating the port math/mprime.
I need to convert from .obj coff to .o elf32. However, I get a
complain "Invalid bfd target"

	I have the sample port at
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~lioux/mprime.tgz

	I believe that the problem is related to the fact
that we are unable to handle coff files. Am I doing something wrong?

	Just try building it to see the problem.
