Oh, that.  Sorry, 'fraid I don't have a good answer to that one.

Plan 9 object files (as you may already be aware) are quite
different to those found on other platforms.  They are
actually a form of binary assembly laguage which the
linker assembles.

What exactly are you trying to do?  It sounds vaguely
interesting.  You might want to try digging around
inside /sys/src/libmach

Well, acid takes care of a.out files, but what about .8s & Co? There seems
no way to load an object file with unresolved references into acid or
db to that matter.
