CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86: Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86 has multiple definitions:

Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries found in fs/Kconfig.binfmt

The configuration item CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86:

• prompt: Kernel support for Linux/Intel ELF binaries
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_ALPHA
• defined in fs/Kconfig.binfmt
• found in Linux kernels: 2.5.73–2.5.75, 2.6.0–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.13
• modules built: binfmt_em86, binfmt_em86

Help text

Say Y here if you want to be able to execute Linux/Intel ELF binaries just like native Alpha binaries on your Alpha machine. For this to work, you need to have the emulator /usr/bin/em86 in place.

You can get the same functionality by saying N here and saying Y to "Kernel support for MISC binaries".

You may answer M to compile the emulation support as a module and later load the module when you want to use a Linux/Intel binary. The module will be called binfmt_em86. If unsure, say Y.
