Hi Marcelo,
with no 2.4 kernel BINFMT_ELF=m actually worked, you always get a
<-- snip -->
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-pre4/kernel/fs/binfmt_elf.o
depmod: smp_num_siblings
depmod: put_files_struct
depmod: steal_locks
<-- snip -->
Since BINFMT_ELF=m is a very unusual case, the patch below simply
disallows modular BINFMT_ELF.
A similar patch I sent was already accepted into 2.6.
