The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor
Donald E. Knuth’s educational 64-bit processor MMIX. The simulator
mmix which is available at
http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/src/index.html
understands this format. That package also includes a combined
assembler and linker called mmixal. 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
http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/ for more
information about MMIX. The ELF format is used for intermediate
object files in the BFD implementation.
