Because elf2flt support is broken and someone needs to fix it. You've
already sent several e-mails about this. Gustavo Zacarias is working on
improving the elf2flt, but on a spare time basis, so it's progressing
as time and motivation permits.

Sorry to be a bit rude, but if you want things to move forward faster,
either send patches to fix the problems and get the thing working, or
hire someone to do this work for you. I'm sure ARM noMMU support in
Buildroot will improve, because there are more and more Cortex-M
systems that are capable of running Linux, but it's not something that
is currently well supported in Buildroot.

Best regards,

Thomas
