I have two concerns before investing time in this:
- I heard CoreBoot was deprecating ELF for size reasons.
- On an earlier discussion (about boot issues on Apple hardware), Pavel
proposed switching util/elf/grub-mkimage.c to use libbfd. This would
solve a few problems automaticaly, including this one.
