I wanted to create macOS binary for that Makefile project I had had for Linux.
Original Linux project links against elf32 static lib so I thought I could utilize objconv to do this conversion.
I do conversion by calling:
objconv -fmacho32 -nu lib_elf.a lib_macho.a
and get the following output:

I guess that it should be all right till now?
When I try to link against lib_macho.a I get following output:
make gcc-4.0 -O3 -g0 -v -W -Wall -DWORD32 -m32 -I../include -I../include/ucl -L. -o ../bin/darwin/ca_sign_build test.o -m32 -v -l_macho couldn't understand kern.osversion `16.7.0' Using built-in specs.

I couldn't google any useful text on:
ld: in ./lib_macho.a(ucl_sys.c.o), in section __TEXT,__text reloc 2: R_ABS reloc but no absolute symbol at target address for architecture i386
so I'm wondering if there is anyone who can tell me something about that linker error?
I tried using latest gcc that's clang/llvm based, gcc-4.2 and gcc-4.0 which I obtained by using xcodelegacy.sh by extracting those from xcode .dmg's but I always get the same error.
Is the error I get matter of version of gcc used or there's some additional instruction needed to be provided to objconv so I can workaround this issue?
Thanks!
