See the multi-boot proposal at:
http://www.uruk.org/grub/boot-proposal.html
Basically, the file just needs an extra header which tells the loader where
the start of the text and data segments are.
I'm not completely familiar with the GNU tools. Is this something the linker
could be forced to do through link script changes?
Getting GrUB working with ELF would be very convenient for loading RTEMs
images from something like an M-Systems flash disk.
