things as ELF64, and concluded that it just wasn't worth it.

The right thing to do is to compile the bootloader as ELF64 (objcopy won't
work, unfortunately, due to SGI's nasty habit of changing load addresses for
every single platform).  There are still a few barriers to this, but I'm
sorting them out.

The Octane seems to have been a one-off from a design standpoint -- it has
almost zero in common with any other SGI platform (i.e., the heart/xbow
architecture).  I have one and will someday do the port ...
