In doing some research, mkelfimage was removed back in Oct 2014 from the coreboot repo. It was replaced with cbfstool. Unless I hear otherwise, I recommend that we mark elf Images as deprecated for 2.4 and remove them in 2.5. I have not yet dived into exactly what binutil change triggered the failure. Further thoughts? Sau!
