I thought that I read once that the ELF format (it was SOME format, may
not have been ELF) allowed the compiler to include object code for more
than one target processor type. So that you could produce an executable
(and this would almost have to be done with a compiler aware of multiple
target types) which was, say, about twice the size but ran transparently
on two different types of processors. There would be a code segment in
the executable that was specific to each platform. Anybody else hear of
this?
