Nothing should be including {asm,linux}/a.out.h unless it absolutely needs it.
I removed all the places it did so extraneously, after moving out STACK_TOP.

It compiles for all the archs for which I have a compiler, and the x86_64 and
i386 kernels all build and boot for the following combinations of AOUT
configs:
x86_64 CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=n
CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=y
CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=m
i386 CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=n
CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m
It seems I had forgetten to include:
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT
def_bool y
in arch/x86/Kconfig, but it builds without that too for both subarchs.
The kernel also builds and boots for MN10300 and FRV.
The problem is that your -mm patchset doesn't match Linus's as a base. I'm
still not sure what the right procedure is for that. I can give you some
altered patches, but there's no guarantee you'll be able to pass them on to
Linus without breaking his tree. What do *you* want?
