Through Phoronix, the legacy a.out support is being phased out and will soon disappear. ELF binaries have been widely used since the 1990s, and I hadn't realized a.out was still present in Linux. This delay raises the question—why did it take so long? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n...move-A.Out
