The original discussion that this refers to took place last December; 
I'm catching up on old tech-kern mail on my flight home from LHR->SFO.

A number of years ago, I was driving home from a Lake Tahoe ski trip 
when the general utility of ELF versus a.out came up (I ski with a 
pretty technical crowd; Stu Grossman was with us). Stu lectured at 
length, and mentioned in passing that the Linux people had made the 
memory sections of their /proc filesystem into ELF format objects, 
and that made interactive debugging of running processes in gdb 
(which he was maintaining at the time) much simpler and cleaner, 
interface-wise.

Jason, given that the changes described in the original 
correspondence have presumably been long since committed, how hard 
would it be to also fix up /proc, and would this be worth doing?

	curious,
