[PATCH 2/2] Introduce HAVE_AOUT symbol to remove hard-coded archlist for BINFMT_AOUT

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Fri Sep 05 2008 - 12:27:47 EST


HAVE_AOUT doesn't quite do the same thing as the recently removed
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT config option. That was set even on platforms where
binfmt_aout isn't supported, although it's not entirely clear why.

So it's best just to introduce a new symbol, handled consistently with
other similar HAVE_xxx symbols; with a simple 'select' in the arch Kconfig.
