I doubt if you have the time/skills to modify the compiler itself, but you can change the switches used to compile your application (to make it create a certain kind of executable (or library).

I don't personally know anything about GCC, so you're probably going to have to rely largely on the google monster.

GCC produces object files, it's the linking utility that produces the final executable. Inventing a new executable format is a dauting task on it's own, why not reuse an existing one?

Here is a link you should investigate:
The OSKit Project[^] - played around with it years ago, didn't amount to much, but it WAS FUN!
