this is awful code, but has worked for me. for more info check my site: https://ceionia.com/le-exe
you can find an example project for this on my site: https://ceionia.com/git/lucia/rust-le-demo or on github: https://github.com/LCeionia/rust-le-demo
usage is elf2le INPUT_FILE, outputs a.exe as LE output, intended for the DOS/32A extender, haven't tested on anything else. you can run the generated executable in DOS with dos32a a.exe, and can make a standalone executable with the sc utility provided by DOS/32A. file new.elf is used as an intermediate, so don't call something that in the working directory or it'll get overwritten.
it doesn't support things that both formats support. the code is absolute awful spaghetti. i intended on doing something better or even just improving it but never did. may the code gods have mercy on me for releasing this.
