The sparc openboot implementation can run executables in the a.out format. We used to generate these using objcopy, but this does not work anymore as binutils is deprecating a.out format support. - Import elf2aout from FreeBSD - Add some missing bits to our elf.h and have a copy of it in the build headers so it can be used to build elf2aout for the host platform (tested for Linux) - Use it to generate the sparc haiku_loader - Adjust the bootloader linker script to have two "program headers": one that is not loadable and contains the ELF headers, and the second one that is loadable and contains the actual code and data. Unlike objcopy, elf2aout relies only on the program headers to know what to put in its output file (sections are ignored), so this is required otherwise we end up with the ELF header nested inside the a.out file, and everything offset from the expected load address as a result. Confirmed that this allows to build the loader and run it as far as before, so I'm back to needing to implement some MMU support now.
