That's what executable formats they support, not what kernel type is 
generated.  Specifying the kernel type you want is done via the make command 
line.  (You always get an elf kernel, vmlinux in the top level directory, and 
some systems actually boot that directly.  The others are generated from 
vmlinux.)
