Not having looked at the internals of the arm32 bootloader(s), but
by using libsa's loadfile() you don't need to write any ELF specific
code - it's all there already.  For netbooting, you're usually
constrained by what format the firmware/PROM/BIOS understands.

In short - I wouldn't worry about this too much.
