Well, I looked at the differences and the "struct exec" header in
<asm/a.out.h> is different for axp, and is missing "trsize" and "drsize",
which according to comments are "relocation data sizes". I dunno what
they are, so I stopped messing with it at that point. Is it possible
to compile the modules package without having ELF support?
