elf.h always remains unified.  If your constants and names are standardized
to the extent that binutils trunk is using them, then we will harmonize.

Having ways for architecture-specific bits to come from sysdeps directories
is the right solution for cases like these.  We can work out the details
just on libc-ports instead of this unreasonbly long CC list.  When I'm
happy with the cleanliness of the solutions, I will put the necessary parts
into the main tree.

That's all still libc-ports territory.
