Hi, due to the complexity of PE, a stand-alone converter may likely be larger than the ~680 LoC converter I already offered here. It was rejected, see this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2007-11/msg00174.html It should be possible to build a smaller tool that only fixes the relocation info in the generated ELF. But due to the C++ redesign of smartmontools, my open source time is somewhat limited in the moment :-) To provide Cygwin support for the next release, I would suggest to accept the small hack in kern/i386/dl.c for now. It is already available it and it works. It can be removed when a tool is available. Or accept the converter mentioned above.
