This target produces a flat binary rather than an ELF file, and prints
the start address for the user to jump to (since it is unfortunately not
fixed).
For platforms whose firmware can't take an image format including an
entry point, we shouldn't make the user faff around with the non-fixed
entry point.  Instead we should modify the entry sequence for those
platforms so that the entry point *is* fixed.
