Subject: [PATCH 0/5] remove the last bits of a.out support

I was working on how linux-libc-dev headers are shipped in Ubuntu and
stumbled upon seemingly unused and useless linux/a.out.h header. It
seems like it is an accidental leftover at this point.

Dimitri John Ledkov (5):
  alpha: remove a.out support from tools/objstrip
  alpha: stop shipping a.out.h uapi headers
  m68k: stop shipping a.out.h uapi headers
  x86: stop shipping a.out.h uapi headers
  uapi: remove a.out.h uapi header
