Hi Camm !

I'm meticulously carrying out unit testing for my bfd work. For that
matter, I wrote a sample test program (much like "bfdtest.c") and as
exhaustive a test suite as I could, trying to test every possible
relocation pattern for the Mach-O ABI. As far as I can tell, it's
fairly stable. ACL2 and Maxima are working fine.

Yes it does, but it's far from being optimal : the saved image is
dramatically large, comparing to what I get with BFD. In big picture
terms, this is because the BFD method directly works on raw (.o) object
files as output by the compiler, whereas this alternate method requires
transforming these raw object files into larger shared object (.so)
files. BFD is also much better as far as speed is concerned.

Yes.

Sure. I've never tried axiom, but my last builds for gcl, maxima and
acl2 successfully pass the tests.
