What David's patch does in fs/binfmt_elf.c is to make code conditional - exactly the code Andi removes as scheduled in 2.6.25. You should be able to simply drop the fs/binfmt_elf.c parts from aout-suppress-aout-library-support-if-config_arch_supports_aout.patch. cu Adrian BTW: There are also patch conflicts with git-x86, but since they are not from David you have yet to ask us to look at them. ;-) -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
