This seams to be a better way to eliminate the irix stuff from being automatically included when switching a board from le to be. I tested this with config, oldconfig, menuconfig and xconfig and in all cases the default for CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX is now N. 2.4 Index: arch/mips/defconfig =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/linux/arch/mips/defconfig,v retrieving revision 1.117.2.52 diff -u -r1.117.2.52 defconfig --- arch/mips/defconfig 16 Jul 2003 19:27:30 -0000 1.117.2.52 +++ arch/mips/defconfig 7 Aug 2003 17:44:27 -0000 @@ -112,7 +112,7 @@ # General setup # # CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN is not set -CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX=y +# CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX is not set CONFIG_ARC_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_IP22_EISA is not set CONFIG_NET=y 2.6 Index: arch/mips/defconfig =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvs/linux/arch/mips/defconfig,v retrieving revision 1.211 diff -u -r1.211 defconfig --- arch/mips/defconfig 31 Jul 2003 17:28:07 -0000 1.211 +++ arch/mips/defconfig 7 Aug 2003 17:55:32 -0000 @@ -130,7 +130,7 @@ CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y # CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC is not set CONFIG_TRAD_SIGNALS=y -CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX=y +# CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX is not set # # Memory Technology Devices (MTD) Michael Pruznick wrote: > > All this does is put "CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX is not set" into the > config files so that when switching dual-endian systems from LE > to BE this will default to "n" instead of "y". > > The main problem with this is that, in general, there is no > need/desire to have CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX included just because > the kernel is BE.
