Allegedly the Watcom linker can produce flat files directly: http://wiki.osdev.org/Watcom ELKS binaries are really simple; IIRC they're just a file header and then the text and data segments concatenated together. (Anyone got a link?) It may be possible to persuade the linker to emit them without needing conversion. I also see that the Watcom linker can emit ELF and COFF files, but I don't know whether it can emit the 16-bit versions (which are a rather esoteric discipline). What format is the kernel image in? The hard-to-find Watcom linker manual is here, and the FORMAT directive is documentated on page 61: http://www.openwatcom.org/ftp/manuals/current/lguide.pdf PS.
