no, one of the very few changes to the hppa bfd broke things ... it's writing 
the ELF OS ABI field as HPUX instead of Linux and well, that doesnt go over 
very well :)

here's the weird thing ... looking at bfd/elf32-hppa.c in binutils 2.17.50.0.
{10,11} doesnt seem to match the version actually in cvs ??

at any rate, attached patch applies against 2.17.50.0.10 and 2.17.50.0.11 and 
fixes the issue for me
