Right. The only other option is to add a ELF loader to ntosknrl and
ntdll and then build all of ReactOS as ELF Winelib binaries. I have
looked at this quite a bit and even have a bug for it bugzilla. We have
the needed tools to support a ELF build of ReactOS but we need someone
to write the binary loader. I have spoken to Alexandre about it at
length and Blight did some research in to this....needless to say we
have not made much progress as of yet.

I am afriad our only hopes of porting to other platforms with PE are
arm-wince-pe and sh4-pe both of which are still supported by mainly GCC
for embedded development.

Thanks
Steven
