When you do `make config' you are asked whether have an ELF or a.out compiler - it looks from the line below as if you've answered that you've got an ELF compiler.
What is CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF set to in /usr/src/linux/.config? |Compile kernel as ELF - if your GCC is ELF-GCC |CONFIG_KERNEL_ELF | The gcc version 2.7.0 and newer produces the new ELF binary format | as default. If you have such a compiler (try "gcc -v"), say Y | here, otherwise N. | It is possible, albeit almost pointless, to compile the kernel in | a.out format even if your compiler produces ELF as default. For | that, you would have to say N here and change the variables LD and | CC in the toplevel Makefile. Similarly, if your compiler produces | a.out by default but is able to produce ELF, you can compile the | kernel in ELF by saying Y here and editing the variables CC | and LD in the toplevel Makefile.
