Looks largely okay to me, yet one important question: Can you point us
at where the ELFOSABI_SORTIX value can be seen to be an officially
assigned value? Otherwise imo it not being an official value at least
needs mentioning next to the #define-s.

I'm further somewhat puzzled by TE_Sortix and the comment next to its
definition: You don't use the symbol anywhere, so why is it important
to have it defined (distinguishing te-sortix.h from te-generic.h)? I
would have expected that you also need to alter the respective #if in
tc-i386.c then.

Perhaps indeed best to wait, unless it turns out taking overly long.
