The approach of using ELF header flags and testing them in this way is
fine; as Roland notes some coding style fixes are needed in the patch
(e.g. spaces before the open parenthesis when calling a function-like
macro). I just think there should be an actual statement of the ABI
before the patch goes in. (Such a statement would include the values, the
types of ELF files for which they may be used (I guess ET_EXEC and EY_DYN
but not ET_REL) and the semantics of each value.)
