While I understand you want to break as little as possible (as the ELF loader maintainer), I'm wondering if we could axe CONFIG_USELIB altogether? Since CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT also got axed. Does this have users anywhere?

Anything using libc5 is extremely rare. It is an entire big process to see if there are any users in existence. In the meantime changing load_elf_library to use elf_load removes any maintenance burden. Eric

I can't even find a libc5 image I can test. :P I made it non-default in '22: 7374fa33dc2d ("init/Kconfig: remove USELIB syscall by default") I'm not sure we can drop it entirely, though.

While load_elf_library() is a libc5-ism, we can still replace most of its contents with elf_load() as well, further simplifying the code.
