[patch 2.6.28-rc2] CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS depends on ELF_CORE

From: David Brownell
Date: Thu Oct 30 2008 - 19:01:01 EST


From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Kernels that don't support ELF coredumps at all surely can't
be supporting new partial-segment flavored ELF coredumps ...
don't make folk answer Kconfig questions about that flavor.
