[parisc-linux] ELFOSABI_LINUX

[Cary Coutant]

>One subversive developer suggested a third alternative -- that we think up

There's no harm in claiming to use extensions that you really don't use 
-- even if there aren't any such extensions to use. We recommend, but do 
not require, that you set the OSABI field to zero if there are no 
extensions in use.

The only downside here is that some non-Linux ELF consumer might decide 
up front that it can't read the file because it doesn't understand the 
extensions. A well-written consumer, however, will wait until it actually 
sees an extension before deciding whether or not it understands it.
