| <p>The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor |
| Donald E. Knuth’s educational 64-bit processor MMIX. The simulator |
| <code>mmix</code> which is available at |
| <a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz</a> |
| understands this format. That package also includes a combined |
| assembler and linker called <code>mmixal</code>. 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 |
| <a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html</a> for more |
| information about MMIX. The ELF format is used for intermediate |
| object files in the BFD implementation. |
