In particular when in doubt please refer to ELF standards which state "EF_" is the prefix for processor-specific flags in "e_flags" in the ELF file header; similarly with "EM_" for "e_machine" and "ET_" for "e_type" -- you should see the pattern. There is no mention of the "E_" prefix in the standards. Maciej
