I hope this project includes bfd support for a.out objects with 12 byte
relocation records.  This is why the mvme88k port uses the old gas and ld.
I can't speak for the other archs.  I have a binutils gas working but it
does not use bfd.  The big problem in my case is binutils ld, which uses
bfd.  I hope this project of yours solves this for me :-)
