Hello everybody,

(please quote my email address on a reply to this email, I am not member 
of the list, thanks.)

I have wondered wether the code conversion ability of qemu could be 
utilized to convert ELF .o object files compiled for i386 Linux by GCC 
to .o object files for ARM/Linux.  Is this possible or has something 
been attempted in this direction?

The need for such conversion occurs when porting the Java MIDP to ARM. 
Due to export restrictions, for some cryptography code in the MIDP, only 
linkable object files for i386 are available with the sources.  (Half a 
dozen small object files, clearly named like MD2.o MD5.o SHA1.o, ...).


Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
