Wow.  Best of luck!  The parisc-linux kernel was converted from SOM
to ELF about 2 years ago, so nobody's used it recently.  You can see
the source code at http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/obsolete/linker/ If you
follow the instructions on the website, you can check out the sources with
`cvs co obsolete/linker'.

Best of luck, I don't know how easy this is going to be to make work...

Have you considered an alias which copies all the .o files to an hpux
host and runs the linker there?  ;-)
