Err, this certainly doesn't appear to be the case with e.g. elf-hppa-linux.
As far as I can tell, the usage of EI_OSABI in that code is basically the
same as the usage I have in mind for elfarm-nabi.

When we transition to the ARM EABI later, the dynamic linker will be
able find compatibility shlibs for existing programs using the EI_OSABI
field.
