This should just be a quick test - but IIRC Etherboot can boot mkelfImage output just fine.
In the process of packaging mkelfImage, a number of issues related to the upstream tarball came up, which prompted me to contact the people mentioned in AUTHORS
I think Eric Biederman is the person to talk to.
The main issues are a non-pristine upstream 2.7 tarball and a rather convoluted autotools implementation that makes it very difficult to cleanly build this software in a repeatable way.
Ok. Dunno. I just ./configure && make && make install (or actually the equivalent in my Gentoo ebuild) and it's very repeatable for me.
I am wondering .. to become the new upstream?
Could you do it?
