-What:  a.out interpreter support for ELF executables
-When:  2.6.25
-Files: fs/binfmt_elf.c
-Why:   Using a.out interpreters for ELF executables was a feature for
-       transition from a.out to ELF. But now it is unlikely to be still
-       needed anymore and removing it would simplify the hairy ELF
-       loader code.
