Linux-7k (ARM; Psion S5/Geofox) is still largely aout-based, because the only usable binary distribution we know of is some RedHat 3.0.3. People are now also compiling ELF user space things with ELF, so I hope that we can converge on ELF only pretty soon. The kernel is currently some 2.2.1 with tons of patches, so any aout hostilities added in later kernels haven't hit us yet.
