I will leave this to someone who knows more about each architecture than I do to decide. I would have no problem removing the a.out support on 32-bit ARM, and I expect we can also do this on MIPS, PowerPC, and Sparc64. It may also pay to import the NetBSD version of this as they have split out the different executable file formats to separate source files. They also have a header to select which formats to support on each platform.
