Hmm.  It was hooked on as an attachment, to the message you replied to.
All it does is fix the name of a couple of symbols so ld doesn't

Take a look at what I did.  At any rate the transformation from an ELF

tagged image needs a 16 bit entry point (I don't remember) you might
need a bit of stub code but otherwise all is well.
