Er, leaving the error aside for the time being, what are you doing making
ELF binary support into a module? You need support for at least one binary
format built into the kernel, or you'll end up with a chicken-and-egg problem:
you need to load modules that recognize binary formats, but you need to be
able to recognize the binary format of /sbin/insmod in order to load modules.
And that one format is going to be ELF, unless you're trying to build a libc4
based distribution or something.

Try saying "Y" instead of "M" for ELF and recompiling. Chances are that
everything will work fine then.
