It's unclear whether ELF will be useful for the uClinux project (it's
relatively complicated, so we're currently using a custom -- and trivial
binary format). In any case, it looks like we may be able to use a few
trick to get located code (code that does not have to be PIC, since it is
linked to the exact address in the target at which it will run.)
