Re: [RFC] Deprecate a.out ELF interpreters
Do you mean deprecate a.out interpreters? I could imagine that there might be some people running some very old statically linked programs from a decade or so ago, but I agree they are pretty small in number. Is the fs/binfmt_aout.c causing problems? It's only 562 lines of code... - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
