I would also be interested in this. I don't know how ndiswrapper does
it, but i have a similar problem.

I maintain the unicorn ADSL modem driver package, which saddly comes
with a soft-ADSL binary library, which is x86 only (well, alcatel has
made powerpc, arm & sh builds in the past, but i could not convince
Bewan to ask alcatel to make a powerpc build for me).

Now, i do have a version of this library in mach.o format, from the
macosX drivers. If i could somehow transform this into an elf object
file or something, i could use this directly. Not sure if this is
possible, and didn't really have much time for this.
