Re: libbfd msdos target

If you're thinking of read-only it shouldn't be *that* hard.  It's
when you try to *create* the file from objects that OMF format gets
hard.

here's some additional info: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/exe/
I did some additional research while looking into what was necessary for writing the backend. Reading through the source of i386msdos.c appears to show a write-only backend for 16-bit msdos executables (see also: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gas2/1995/msg00095.html)

I guess the best path is to add read support.
