I have been playing with this for the last couple of weeks.
After getting elfloader.c to compile with the most common relocation
types (R_ARM_ABS32, R_ARM_REL32, R_ARM_PC24) defined, there are still
a couple outstanding:
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
Elf_RelocateEntry() Unsupported relocation type 56
Elf_RelocateEntry() Unsupported relocation type 24
24 happens to be:
#define R_ARM_GOTOFF 24 /* 32 bit offset to GOT */
By itself this is pretty odd, but #56 is simply not defined in
/usr/include/elf.h at all. I am rebuilding right now (a 10-hour
process) with "Elf_Rel" rather than "Elf_Rela" setup, to see if that
makes a difference. (Seing that ARM, like i386, unlike any of the
other processors, is Little Endian).

Framebuffer stuff. I have changed the section that starts with:
#if defined(PpcArchitecture) || defined(Mc68020Architecture)
to
#if defined(PpcArchitecture) || defined(Mc68020Architecture) || \
defined(Arm32Architecture)
