That happens because aout binary handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must be done by binfmt_loader. Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which places new handler on the top of the binfmt list. This might be generally useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just for overriding them.
