[Patch 14/21] Create ELF header

From: Suzuki K. Poulose
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 05:16:05 EST


Build the ELF header on the fly for the very first read request. The ELF Header,
Program Headers are stored in a buffer for processing future read() requests.

gencore-elf.c contains the ELF class specific functions.
