+config BINFMT_ELF
+        bool "Kernel support for ELF binaries"
+        depends on MMU
+        default y
+        ---help---
+          ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) is a format for libraries and
+          executables used across different architectures and operating
+          systems. 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_FDPIC
+        bool "Kernel support for FDPIC ELF binaries"
+        default y
+        depends on FRV
+        help
+          ELF FDPIC binaries are based on ELF, but allow the individual load
+          segments of a binary to be located in memory independently of each
+          other. This makes this format ideal for use in environments where no
+          MMU is available as it still permits text segments to be shared,
+          even if data segments are not.
+
+          It is also possible to run FDPIC ELF binaries on MMU linux also.
+
+config BINFMT_FLAT
+        tristate "Kernel support for flat binaries"
+        depends on !MMU || SUPERH
+        help
+          Support uClinux FLAT format binaries.
+
+config BINFMT_ZFLAT
+        bool "Enable ZFLAT support"
+        depends on BINFMT_FLAT
+        select ZLIB_INFLATE
+        help
+          Support FLAT format compressed binaries
+
+config BINFMT_SHARED_FLAT
+        bool "Enable shared FLAT support"
+        depends on BINFMT_FLAT
+        help
+          Support FLAT shared libraries
+
+config BINFMT_AOUT
+        tristate "Kernel support for a.out and ECOFF binaries"
+        depends on (X86 && !X86_64) || ALPHA || ARM || M68K || SPARC32
+        ---help---
+          A.out (Assembler.OUTput) is a set of formats for libraries and
+          executables used in the earliest versions of UNIX.  Linux used
+          the a.out formats QMAGIC and ZMAGIC until they were replaced
+          with the ELF format.
+
+          The conversion to ELF started in 1995.  This option is primarily
+          provided for historical interest and for the benefit of those
+          who need to run binaries from that era.
+
+          Most people should answer N here.  If you think you may have
+          occasional use for this format, enable module support above
+          and answer M here to compile this support as a module called
+          binfmt_aout.
+
+          If any crucial components of your system (such as /sbin/init
+          or /lib/ld.so) are still in a.out format, you will have to
+          say Y here.
+
+config OSF4_COMPAT
+        bool "OSF/1 v4 readv/writev compatibility"
+        depends on ALPHA && BINFMT_AOUT
+        help
+          Say Y if you are using OSF/1 binaries (like Netscape and Acrobat)
+          with v4 shared libraries freely available from Compaq. If you're
+          going to use shared libraries from Tru64 version 5.0 or later, say N.
+
+config BINFMT_EM86
+        tristate "Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries"
+        depends on ALPHA
+        ---help---
+          Say Y here if you want to be able to execute Linux/Intel ELF
+          binaries just like native Alpha binaries on your Alpha machine. For
+          this to work, you need to have the emulator /usr/bin/em86 in place.
+
+          You can get the same functionality by saying N here and saying Y to
+          "Kernel support for MISC binaries".
+
+          You may answer M to compile the emulation support as a module and
+          later load the module when you want to use a Linux/Intel binary. The
+          module will be called binfmt_em86. If unsure, say Y.
+
+config BINFMT_SOM
+        tristate "Kernel support for SOM binaries"
+        depends on PARISC && HPUX
+        help
+          SOM is a binary executable format inherited from HP/UX.  Say
+          Y here to be able to load and execute SOM binaries directly.
+
+config BINFMT_MISC
+        tristate "Kernel support for MISC binaries"
+        ---help---
+          If you say Y here, it will be possible to plug wrapper-driven binary
+          formats into the kernel. 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>). Once you have
+          registered such a binary class with the kernel, you can start one of
+          those programs simply by typing in its name at a shell prompt; Linux
+          will automatically feed it to the correct interpreter.
+
+          You can do other nice things, too. Read the file
+          <file:Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt> to learn how to use this
+          feature, <file:Documentation/java.txt> for information about how
+          to include Java support. and <file:Documentation/mono.txt> for
+          information about how to include Mono-based .NET support.
+
+          To use binfmt_misc, you will need to mount it:
+                mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
+
+          You may say M here for module support and later load the module when
+          you have use for it; the module is called binfmt_misc. If you
+          don't know what to answer at this point, say Y.
