The initial plan was to do our 32-bit userspace with SOM, worrying about
ELF32 much later in the game.  But ELF32 development happened a lot
quicker than expected, and so nobody's really done much on the SOM
linker.

I suspect it'd be very hard to use the SOM linker code to incorporate it
into binutils, but I could be wrong.

What are you actually trying to do?
