There's another set of architectures which have <asm/a.out.h> but don't define ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT. Including PowerPC. I think we can probably get away with removing <asm/a.out.h> from every architecture other than Alpha, ARM, m68k and x86, and killing ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT completely. Or maybe, as dhowells suggests, re-defining ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT to be set only on Alpha, ARM, m68k and x86 (so BINFMT_AOUT can depend on it). -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
