Yes there is.

But as you probably didn't meant to play Historical Trivia, you
probably should have been specific about the OS and OS version.

Silicon Graphics (SGI) IRIX release 4.* was entirely coff.
SGI introduced ELF support somewhere around IRIX 5.1, but maintained
the COFF runtimes for backwards compatability for the entire IRIX 5.*
stream, and (if I recall correctly) in IRIX 6.1 (but not 6.0, and
not 6.2 or later.)

Timeframe: approximately 3Q 1993 that SGI introduced ELF. IRIX 6.0
was announced in 2Q 1994, but IRIX 6 and IRIX 5 had overlapping sales
lives.
