To make my point in a different way, the GNU tools do a lot of things
which aren't covered by any ABI.  That doesn't make them wrong.

For example, the i386 ELF backend supports 8-bit and 16-bit
relocations.  They are not covered by any ABI, but they are required
to build 16-bit code used by PC bootstrap code.
