Yeah, I forgot that you have to compile a 1.2 kernel with a.out.  I
didn't know the reason though.

BTW, there is supposedly a patch from the GCC list by H.J.Lu that allows
a 1.2 kernel to be compiled in ELF.  Do you (or anyone else) know where
I can find this?  I have looked in many ftp sites, web pages and
hypermail archives for this, but I haven't found it...
