Below a patch that fixes the problems for me.
Please do not put this in 2.2.14. As far as I can see the 2.2.13 patch on
binfmt_aout.c does not really serve any useful purpose, quite the contrary,
and after fixing the patch (which I do not claim to have done), the situation
is still worse than in 2.2.12.
Discussion:
1. Warnings: I hate getting a printk every 5 seconds.
Getting three warnings at boot time to remind me of
the fact (which I am well aware of) that there still
are many old ZMAGIC binaries, is amply sufficient.
2. Text of the warnings: "please convert" is easily said,
but nobody ever gave me the source for Maple, just to
mention one example. Conversion is often not possible.
3. Actual changes:
(i) fd_offset instead of 0 in call to do_mmap()
(ii) N_TXTOFF(ex) instead of 0 in call to do_mmap()
(iii) readded the mmap of bss - the fact that this was
missing caused the library segfaults.
