The long and short forms of options, shown here as alternatives, are equivalent. At least one of the --output-mach, --output-type and --output-osabi options must be given.

--input-mach=machine

Set the matching input ELF machine type to machine. If --input-mach isn’t specified, it will match any ELF machine types.

The supported ELF machine types are, i386, IAMCU, L1OM, K1OM and x86-64.

--output-mach=machine

Change the ELF machine type in the ELF header to machine. The supported ELF machine types are the same as --input-mach.

--input-type=type

Set the matching input ELF file type to type. If --input-type isn’t specified, it will match any ELF file types.

The supported ELF file types are, rel, exec and dyn.

--output-type=type

Change the ELF file type in the ELF header to type. The supported ELF types are the same as --input-type.

--input-osabi=osabi

Set the matching input ELF file OSABI to osabi. If --input-osabi isn’t specified, it will match any ELF OSABIs.

The supported ELF OSABIs are, none, HPUX, NetBSD, GNU, Linux (alias for GNU), Solaris, AIX, Irix, FreeBSD, TRU64, Modesto, OpenBSD, OpenVMS, NSK, AROS and FenixOS.
