I think I've discovered the problem here.  buildroot produces ELF binaries, 
but I cannot compile a kernel with ELF support because BINFMT_ELF depends on 
MMU and my platform is arm7tdmi which does not have an MMU.

This means I need to tell buildroot to produce FLAT executables instead of ELF 
ones.  I have enabled elf2flt support in the buildroot config, but it still 
produces ELF binaries.

Is there an option I am missing to make buildroot generate FLAT executables 
instead?

Thanks,
Adam.
