Description Matze Braun 2007-03-23 13:17:52 UTC 
The genkernel default configuration misses support for binfmt_misc which is needed to register custom executable formats. dev-dotnet/pe-format is using this for example. So 

CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=m

in the default configuration would be a good thing.
Comment 1 Matze Braun 2007-03-23 13:25:21 UTC 
Apparently x86_64 has this enabled, while x86 has not.
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-23 15:53:47 UTC 
Which version of genkernel are you using?

taylor ~ # genkernel --version
3.4.7_pre3
taylor ~ # grep "CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC" /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6 # CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC is not set
Comment 4 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-26 23:33:55 UTC 
This is already fixed in newer versions of genkernel in subversion.
Comment 5 Matze Braun 2007-03-31 11:31:42 UTC 
yep latest genkernel in portage has this fixed apparently. You can close the bug
Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-02 20:08:50 UTC 
I will once 3.4.7 goes final.
Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-05 15:01:07 UTC 
This is fixed in genkernel 3.4.7 which is now in the tree.
