Ha, I was in the same boat as Nathaniel.  We thought the "having a real
ELF loader comment" was a comment on the patch itself, i.e. that you
disagreed with it in some way because it didn't support an ELF loader,
hence our confusion.

Now I realize you were refering to the rebase needed due to rewriting the
selftest to use an ELF loader.  Crisis aborted :-)
