Yes, it can be dropped _(;
1/ Doom comes without any source, so dlltools won't be of any use.
2/ The a.out version of the dynamic loader is not supported any more.
3/ the libc4[-dev] packages are not maintained any more.
4/ We don't provide aout-gcc anymore[1], so tools any tools related to
a.out develpment are useless.
Let's face it: a.out is DEAD.
Debian still support a.out executables _execution_ but not a.out
_development_ anymore...
Cordialement,
1:
gcc (2.7.2.1-6) unstable; urgency=low
* No longer builds aout-gcc
