ELF format had more information on ths symbols and sections that the IEEE695 format. So the conversion was not really staright forward. Information had to be extracted from multiple sections and the target information had to be constructed.
In IEEE695, The relocation information was expressed in terms of expression. This expression had to be parsed and evaluated to idetify the equalent relocation type in GNU liker. For few cases we had to introduce custom relocation types in GNU tools chain to support the conversion. The converted output was tested in GDB ported for target platform.
