I had been somehow made to think that uClinux is moving away from elf
stuff. Arm nommu has compile time option to choose romfs or not, most
of arch (including plain linux) copy intv by itself, etc, etc.

but after I read this thread, it seems to be very nice to do it with
bootloader. do you, or any of you, have a pointer to a discussion, if
any, about whether those relocation should be done by bootloader or
the kernel itself?

thank you for your work and sorry about my ignorance.

regards,
