That's a "feature".  Newer versions of the rpx fw boot ELF.  And IIRC,
if you need to convert it to srec later on, you can't have already
stripped off the ELF header (for objcopy).

That's interesting.  Perhaps generating the FLASHBURN srec file instead
of just including it would be a bit better of an approach 'tho.
