<ul>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_BINFMT_DISABLE</code>: By default, support for loadable binary formats is built.
This logic may be suppressed be defining this setting.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_BINFMT_CONSTRUCTORS</code>: Build in support for C++ constructors in loaded modules.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_SYMTAB_ORDEREDBYNAME</code>: Symbol tables are order by name (rather than value).
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_NXFLAT</code>: Enable support for the NXFLAT binary format.
This format will support execution of NuttX binaries located
in a ROMFS file system (see <code>apps/examples/nxflat</code>).
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF</code>: Enable support for the ELF binary format.
This format will support execution of ELF binaries copied from a file system and relocated into RAM (see <code>apps/examples/elf</code>).
</li>
<p>
If <code>CONFIG_ELF</code> is selected, then these additional options are available:
</p>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF_ALIGN_LOG2</code>: Align all sections to this Log2 value: 0->1, 1->2, 2->4, etc.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF_STACKSIZE</code>: This is the default stack size that will will be used when starting ELF binaries.
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF_BUFFERSIZE</code>: This is an I/O buffer that is used to access the ELF file. Variable length items will need to be read (such as symbol names).
This is really just this initial size of the buffer; it will be reallocated as necessary to hold large symbol names).
Default: 128
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF_BUFFERINCR</code>: This is an I/O buffer that is used to access the ELF file. Variable length items will need to be read (such as symbol names).
This value specifies the size increment to use each time the buffer is reallocated.
Default: 32
</li>
<li>
<code>CONFIG_ELF_DUMPBUFFER</code>: Dump various ELF buffers for debug purposes.
This option requires <code>CONFIG_DEBUG</code> and <code>CONFIG_DEBUG_VERBOSE</code>.
