   I guess people may get confused by what EI_OSABI is used for. It is
   used to tell the ELF tools that if you see the none 0 EI_OSABI field
   and you don't know what that operating system and ABI do, don't bother.
   It is certainly not the case for Linux.

To belabor my point: is this written down anywhere, or do we have to
ask you and Ulrich for clarification whenever we deal with the new
changes to the ELF standard?
