Touché.

What I meant, was, if our target has its own "style" of shared
libraries, more specific than the generic shared library support BFD
offers, can it tell the BFD that it needs this more specific format?
Or would that be a new BFD, derived from the generic one, a new
emulation, or just a command line option?

That way, we could differentiate (for example) uClinux-style PIC from
MMU-ful Linux style PIC.

(it's issues like this that make me wish bfd was implemented in C++.
Virtual functions for these handlers would be *so* nice)
