or besides stripping before running xres.
For exemple the NetSurf target in the makefile :
$(EXETARGET): $(OBJECTS) $(RESOURCES)
$(VQ)echo " LINK: $(EXETARGET)"
ifneq ($(TARGET)$(SUBTARGET),riscos-elf)
$(Q)$(CC) -o $(EXETARGET) $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)
else
$(Q)$(CC) -o $(EXETARGET:,ff8=,e1f) $(OBJECTS) $(LDFLAGS)
$(Q)$(ELF2AIF) $(EXETARGET:,ff8=,e1f) $(EXETARGET)
$(Q)$(RM) $(EXETARGET:,ff8=,e1f)
endif
ifeq ($(NETSURF_STRIP_BINARY),YES)
$(VQ)echo " STRIP: $(EXETARGET)"
$(Q)$(STRIP) $(EXETARGET)
endif
ifeq ($(TARGET),beos)
$(VQ)echo " XRES: $(EXETARGET)"
$(Q)$(BEOS_XRES) -o $(EXETARGET) $(RSRC_BEOS)
$(VQ)echo " SETVER: $(EXETARGET)"
$(Q)$(BEOS_SETVER) $(EXETARGET) \
-app $(VERSION_MAJ) $(VERSION_MIN) 0 d 0 \
-short "NetSurf $(VERSION_FULL)" \
-long "NetSurf $(VERSION_FULL) © 2003 - 2008 The
NetSurf Developers"
$(VQ)echo " MIMESET: $(EXETARGET)"
$(Q)$(BEOS_MIMESET) $(EXETARGET)
endif
Note EXE files in windows use a "next" field in the MZ header to link
to the PE header... not sure ELF has any such provision though...
