OK, it builds.  But it doesn't work, and least not completely!

FWIW, in addition to

	no options COREDUMP
	no options PTRACE

my custom kernel also has

	no options EXEC_ELF32
	no options EXEC_ELF64

These modules are expected to be auto-loaded as necessary.

It seems that the exec_elf* modules fail to load, since the symbol
coredump_elf{32,64} is already defined in the kernel, even though
I have the ``no options EXEC_ELF*'' in the config.
