That is not really what the EI_OSABI field is for.  It is intended to
identify the ABI in a wider sense, so that you can ascribe meanings to
things like reloc numbers.  If your object files are compatible with
what elfarm-nabi.c produces, you should stick with ELFOSABI_ARM.

What were you planning to use this identification for?  Is it just to
stop people from accidentally linking together incompatible objects, or
is there something else?
