Last i had a look elf2ecoff and addinitrd were not really nice
recovering from toolchain problems like pages of null between sections
which was a common fault a couple months back. This lead to addinitrd
not beeing able to attach a ramdisk that the kernel would be able to
find it.
BTW: Shouldn't objcopy be able to convert an ELF into an ECOFF ?
