Saying Y here will enable your kernel to run ELF binaries + and enlarge it by about 13 KB. ELF support under Linux has now all + but replaced the traditional Linux a.out formats (QMAGIC and ZMAGIC) + because it is portable (this does *not* mean that you will be able + to run executables from different architectures or operating systems + however) and makes building run-time libraries very easy. Many new + executables are distributed solely in ELF format. You definitely + want to say Y here. + + Information about ELF is contained in the ELF HOWTO available from + <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. + + If you find that after upgrading from Linux kernel 1.2 and saying Y + here, you still can't run any ELF binaries (they just crash), then + you'll have to install the newest ELF runtime libraries, including + ld.so (check the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location and + latest version). + +config BINFMT_ELF_KUNIT_TEST + bool "Build KUnit tests for ELF binary support" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS + depends on KUNIT=y && BINFMT_ELF=y + default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS + help + This builds the ELF loader KUnit tests, which try to gather + prior bug fixes into a regression test collection.

However, versions of + GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format. + + The core dump behavior can be controlled per process using + the /proc/PID/coredump_filter pseudo-file; this setting is + inherited.

You will like this especially when you use + programs that need an interpreter to run like Java, Python, .NET or + Emacs-Lisp. It's also useful if you often run DOS executables under + the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from + <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>).
