Sorry if i didn't make myself clear. The fact the kernel runs or not elf
binaries wasn't the idea. You remember me the time i was used to program
in C, i always compiled a simple a.out and tried to debug it with adb
because i misused pointers of pointer and casting in order to optimize
the code because i had less than 64/512ko of ram to reinvent the world
(No, i didn't made all that codes in a garage in my backyard, but they
were lost in a faulty 10Mo MFM harddisk for sure. So ended my brillant
career :). Anyway, a.out format is mostly replaced with elf format nowadays.
Actually, i have spoken about the fact that a program written in a
compiled language will not be as flexible as an interpreted one. In
other word, /sbin/rc should stay a shell script. I'm pretty sure that
will not please to some of you gentoo developers ;)
