Another think to check when we move them around - from configure.in:
# Look for an `elf' subdirectory of each machine directory.
# We prepend these rather than inserting them whereever the machine appears
# because things specified by the machine's ELF ABI should override
# OS-specific things, and should always be the same for any OS on the
# machine (otherwise what's the point of an ABI?).
