My guess would be that binfmt_aout isn't actually used there.
The affected architectures are: - h8300 - m32r - parisc - sh - v850
v850 is broken beyond repair, and I hope my patch to remove the architecture will make it into 2.6.27.
For the other 4 architectures I have Cc'ed the architecture maintainers.
