They form a very minimal development system - just enough to build some objects from data files and link a kernel together. Oracle uses them to tune and relink their server (since they will exist on any SCO system whether or not a real dev sys is installed). It should be entirely possible to knock up some scripts that invoke the GNU tools with the necessary options to handle COFF (although I think you have to build a COFF specific version of gas at the moment). You may also need a COFF libc to link against. You may not actually need to relink Oracle's server though...
