Could their technique for converting the ELF be adapted to work directly with mint so that the ELF is modified as it is loaded ?

It might be slow.

Hm. Rather strange approach they took there. A compiler that does not produce executables for the target (you have to manually call an additional program to convert the output), that needs lots of extra switches and environment variables to work, and that does not support the multilib directory structure anymore is calling for lots of troubles. And it is also unsuitable for compiling other standard packages.
