[ELDK] mkcramfs in ELDK-4.2 - PowerPC

Yes, we are aware of the problem.  Actually upstream mkcramfs never had
the optin to switch endianness, so we used separate patches in ELDK
4.1.  These patches somehow got lost for ELDK 4.2, but we are currently
working with upstream for a new official release having all of our
patches in mainline code.

Using mkcramfs from ELDK 4.1 is a good workaround in the current
situation.

Cheers
