I seem to recall seeing this before but can't remember where.
Here is what I have found so far.
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help
"Kernel support for ELF binaries
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF
[snip]
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be
called binfmt_elf.o.
* * * *
Saying M or N here is dangerous because some
crucial programs on your system might be in ELF format. "
* * * *
My comment ( SOME??? )
Kernel support for A.OUT binaries
CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT
My comment "The same warning as CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF
This is all that I have found. I will continue looking.
Hope this Helps!
