The kernel in my R6 system is 1.2.13 custom compiled with
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF selected yes and when I tried to install ld.so I was
told I could not do so because binfmt_elf was a module. As I remember it
(not reliable) and as the above would seem to indicate (more reliable)
ELF support was, by default, only available as a module in this kernel.
Succeding kernels were able to do it built in.
