Anyone designing a new binary file format to replace a.out
should know about MUFOM. This was a proposed standard
developed by an IEEE group.
IEEE P695 working group: The Microprocessor Universal Format
for Object Modules - Proposed standard
IEEE Micro August 1983, 3(4)48-66
I don't know if it ever went anywhere, but it had some
rather powerful features. If someone were to design a new
standard, this would be a good place to start.
