--- Comment #2 from joseph at codesourcery dot com <joseph at codesourcery dot com> ---
The installed <elf.h> header is supposed to be system-independent; it 
contains a definition of ELF not just for the system for which glibc is 
built, but for other systems as well.  So it would be appropriate to add 
constants for other OSes, and to rename constants if their names 
misleadingly suggest they are OS-independent, but not to make the set of 
constants or their values depend on the system for which glibc is built.
