It was known of at the time (mid-90's), but not free then - I just
did some quick research and it appears to have been relicensed BSD-style
just last year. If it's code quality is better than bcc it might be worth
looking into - when I tried running ELKS through copt the result was
noticably faster, and a bit smaller, but much less stable.
