mmo backend
===========

   The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor
Donald E. Knuth's educational 64-bit processor MMIX.  The simulator
`mmix' which is available at
<http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz>
understands this format.  That package also includes a combined
assembler and linker called `mmixal'.  The mmo format has no advantages
feature-wise compared to e.g. ELF.  It is a simple non-relocatable
object format with no support for archives or debugging information,
except for symbol value information and line numbers (which is not yet
implemented in BFD).  See
<http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html> for more
information about MMIX.  The ELF format is used for intermediate object
files in the BFD implementation.
