i was just puttering around with creating standard ELF executables and digging into them and i noticed that the OSABI field from the ELF header was equivalent to ELFOSABI_NONE (as defined in include/linux/elf.h), as opposed to ELFOASBI_LINUX. if that's the case, what is the purpose of ELFOSABI_LINUX? where would i find it being used, if not on linux? rday -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
