none of which really are used by a typical MMU enabled kernel, as a.out can
only be build for alpha and m68k to start with.

Quoting myself:

Do you want to drop the:

    select HAVE_AOUT if MMU

for m68k then?

If that helps to reduce maintenance, it's fine for me.
That leaves alpha as the sole user?

Note that we'll still need flush_icache_user_range for m68k with mmu,
as it also allows binfmt_flat for mmu configs.

Understood.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
