These grep hits seem relevant:

./bfd/doc/bfdint.texi:these magic numbers are assigned by SCO; if you want to get a magic
./bfd/doc/bfdint.texi:@email{registry@@sco.com}.  In the BFD sources, the magic numbers are
./include/elf/common.h:   are officially assigned by registry@sco.com.  See below for a list of
./include/elf/common.h:   unofficial e_machine number should eventually ask registry@sco.com for

I can take care of updating this.  I'll send a patch when I hear from
the Caldera folks.
