The elf2aout utility is used to convert
    native NetBSD ELF binaries to a.out format, for
    compatibility with bootblocks and kernel-reading utilities like
    kvm(3), which currently expect an
    a.out format kernel.
The following options are available:
elf2aout was originally developed for
  NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed
  with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1.
elf2aout assumes there are no multiply-referenced
  symbols in the input ELF symbol section. It may be necessary to link with
  -x to avoid such duplicate symbols.
In some environments, the GNU binutils
    objcopy(1) utility may be a
    better solution than elf2aout.
