Hi,
It's aboot that needs fixing. The reason of this behaviour are binutils
>= 2.9, which link the kernel slightly differently. Unfortunately, this
causes the limited ELF interpreter that is contained within aboot to fail.
I am planning to fix aboot soon. I'll announce the fix to 'axp-list'
when it's ready.
