Unfortunately, what is at 0x500000 in the COFF image is not the first instruction, but the procedure descriptor itself, that is, a word containing 0x500000, which is not a valid instruction. Hence, booting a COFF zImage results in a "DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700" message from Open Firmware. This fixes the problem by (a) putting the procedure descriptor in the data section and (b) adding a branch to _zimage_start as the first instruction in the program.
