Nothing should be including {asm,linux}/a.out.h unless it absolutely needs it.

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?
