#define ENOEXEC         8               /* Exec format error */

Just a guess, do you have "options EXEC_AOUT"?  BTW, you should probably
put:

include "arch/i386/conf/std.i386"

at the top of your kernel config file, and delete any option in your
config file that also appear in std.i386.

(Providing you're using an i386, that is... but, since I happen to know
which arch you're using... :-)

Ciao.
