Yes.

Not really.  There is no real need to duplicate all of the contents of
elf32-arm.h in a seperate file for qnx however.  It should be possible
to create a small wrapper file, like elfarm-nabi.c, and define
ELF_MAXPAGESIZE there.  (You will also need to edit elf32-arm.h and
have only set ELF_MAXPAGESIZE if it is not already defined).

Cheers
