It's a binary format.  It works on nommu, but unlike flat, it allows all
the normal ELF things like shared libraries and dynamic loading.  It
needs compiler & linker support so it's not something you can implement
in an afternoon like flat binaries, which is presumably why only bfin
and frv (and sh?) are doing it so far.
