[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/8] arch: ensure BR2_BINFMT_ELF is really used

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2014-12-03 22:41 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Currently, the binary format choice is only shown for the Blackfin and
> m68k architectures, since we assume that all other architectures are
> using the ELF binary format. However, due to this, the BR2_BINFMT_ELF
> symbol is in fact not set to 'y' for those architectures that use the
> ELF format.

> This will be causing problems for the refactoring of the static/shared
> library support, as we will need to know if the binary format supports
> shared libraries or not.
> 
> Therefore, we simply make the choice visible on all architectures,
> even if it means that on many architectures no other choice than ELF
> will be available.

Even though BR2_BINFMT_ELF is never used, but we need it in the choice.
Just out of curiosity, do you plan on needing it in a future patch?
