i dont think that a.out (arm) have relocatable code.
aout2uimage does not relocate the image (abslute addresses
are encoded inside instruction immediates) but only
changes the header and handles some padding stuff.
the load address (and entry point) all *MUST* stay the
same no matter if it is wrapped in a.out or uimage.
this is why you need the -T flag for the linker. theres
no relocation info in a.out as far as i remember.
so writing a external tool to convert an a.out to ????
requiering relocation will have a hard time.
