    x86: Deprecate a.out support · eac61655
    Borislav Petkov authored
    Linux supports ELF binaries for ~25 years now.  a.out coredumping has
    bitrotten quite significantly and would need some fixing to get it into
    shape again but considering how even the toolchains cannot create a.out
    executables in its default configuration, let's deprecate a.out support
    and remove it a couple of releases later, instead.
