Oh that's cute....

There's two copies; one is guarded by:
          if (   strcmp (bfd_get_target (input_bfd), "elf32-littlearm-oabi") == 0
              || strcmp (bfd_get_target (input_bfd), "elf32-bigarm-oabi") == 0)

and the other is in the else block of the same if, and checks only
"if (! globals->no_pipeline_knowledge)" and "i_ehdrp->e_ident[EI_OSABI]
== 0".  But the only place GNU binutils created binaries with OSABI 0
was in the oabi targets, right?

In that case, the no_pipeline_knowledge setting can be removed.  Linux
has passed -p for a while, so the option should probably hang around.
