I don't really see the point of the ELF container if you also have code to parse a native object format. Either add a separate COFF etc. (or BFD-using if you so wish) implementation of the set of interfaces that lto-elf.c provides, using hooks (or proper C++ classes) to select which implementation is used, or switch the targets to use ELF completely with a postlinker converting to executables in another format (like on arm-symbianelf). The former (lto-coff.c, lto-macho.c etc. or lto-bfd.c) should be a lot less work (the latter requires an ABI to define how all the features of the other object format are represented in ELF). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41529
