I confirmed Yuri's statement: EI_BRAND isn't > in glibc 2.11 source. not being the glibc source isnt terribly important imo (since there are a lot of things glibc's elf.h doesnt define), but the fact it isnt in the gabi as Yuri notes seems pretty important: http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.eheader.html whether it be marked as non-standard (and then we research what random OSes actually define it) or simply drop it, either makes sense to me. the latter is obviously less work :). -mike
