For this and possibly for the plan9 support I will except
patches to mkelfImage.  As of version 2.0 it has an infrastructure
that allows for adding code for various targets.

And the code is all in C so it is fast.

ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/src/mkelfImage/

Basically to load vxworks at 0x8000 you just need an ELF
header that says load me here.  And probably a bit
of adapter code that switches from 32bit protected mode
to 64bit protected mode.
