Maybe... but I didn't want to rip it out without having one of the

I have not used shared libraries on m68k non-mmu setups for
a very long time. At least 10 years I would think.

I think Emcraft have a significant customer base running ARM NOMMU
Linux, I wonder whether they would have run into this (adding
Sergei to Cc).
My suspicion is that they use only binfmt-elf-fdpic, not binfmt-flat.

The only architectures I see that enable binfmt-flat are sh, xtensa
and h8300, but only arch/sh uses CONFIG_BINFMT_SHARED_FLAT

m68k uses enables it too. It is the only binary format supported
when running no-mmu on m68k. (You can use it with MMU enabled too
if you really want too).

My mistake, I meant to write 'the only architectures /other than m68k/",
which you had already mentioned above.
