Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Do you think moving to elf is going to magically make shared libraries work? I think not. There are systems out there that use a.out and manage to do shared libraries. Granted, elf is a more advanced file format than coff, but it doesn't really buy DJGPP anything without a corresponding advanced OS.
