As I understand it, ecoff file headers can be different between
architectures.  Look at ECOFF_PAD in the ecoff_aouthdr struct in
sys/exec_ecoff.h.  I wonder if any Alphas can boot via mop?

Ideally, I should teach mopd to read NetBSD/pmax ELF kernels but I got
lazy - it was much easier to hack support in for ECOFF.  Another day...
