IBM S/370 and binutils

[David and Jannette Uczen]

You should be able to get an ABI from Amdahl Corporation, through UTS
Technical Support. I have contacted a Chris A. Swartout
(cas30@oes.amdahl.com), who verified that the value of EM_S370 (9) is used
for IBM System/370 Processors. This value still exists in the binutils
source (/binutils/include/elf/common.h).
I have had the value officially registered with SCO (registry@sco.com). A
new ABI is going to be published soon.
I myself am trying to get ABI information, but haven't heard back yet.
