I do think we should improve our handling of image file loading. I also strongly think that adding yet another thing that's special cased to one target architecture, board or CPU subtype is a really bad idea. If we want ELF image loading we need to support it on *all* boards and *all* CPU architectures. Anything else is just making our confusing set of image loading arguments worse. > I think that it is reasonably to acknowledge that not all emulated > machines are linux boxes, and that it is not ok to bend everything > to match the linux command line options. This I agree with. -- PMM
