$ tilo vmlinuz /boot/initrd.img-3.12-trunk-sparc64-smp
Compressing vmlinuz:
vmlinuz:         55.0%
Root image packed size = 3026882
Multiple root images?
$ 

Reason is that tilo calls "file" and greps its output for
"MSB executable" while output of current versions of file looks like
this:

vmlinuz: ELF 64-bit MSB  executable, SPARC V9, Sun UltraSPARC1 Extensions Required, relaxed memory ordering, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=5adcf4888f15816f7f2eca06a5ca9443db74a47e, with unknown capability 0x410000000f676e75 = 0x1000000070433, not stripped

Note the two spaces between "MSB" and "executable".

Happens at least with file 1:5.14-2 from Sid.
