Maintainers, is there some chance to fix it or a.out is really doomed?
Is there an actual use case for a.out on a modern kernel?
Maybe retrocompatibility.
In other wods, is there any reason to really care if it's doomed, since it's been *years* since that worked?
Perhaps not, but why to continue patching the ia32_aout.c and binfmt_aout.c if that format doesn't matter (and work) anymore? That's was the reason that I asked if it is really doomed in linux. -- Regards, Geyslan G. Bem hackingbits.com
