I've been thinking it might be nice to have an LDA BFD backend for gnu binutils, so
gas, ld, objdump etc. could deal with LDA's directly without having to use separate

Before jumping in on that, though, I thought I'd ask here to see if anybody might
have already started or done this? I've noticed several of the folks here also have
contributions on some of the binutils lists.
thanks,

What LDA do you have in mind? Absolute loader binary, for bare metal execution? DOS-11
binary? :-) Part of the issue is that there are a number of different executable forats
for PDP-11 -- RSX TSK files (possibly several, if -D and -M differ which I don't know,
SAV for RT-11 (and also REL), not to mention the variant wrapper RSTS uses (SIL).
