Re: [PATCH] Allow different values than ELFOSABI_SYSV for ELF OSABI


Every glibc configuration should accept DSOs with the standard header
format, which means ELFOSABI_SYSV.  If your configuration wants to accept
others too, then you should follow the example of the arm and hppa ports,
which already do this:

#define VALID_ELF_ABIVERSION(ver)	(ver == 0)
#define VALID_ELF_OSABI(osabi) \
  (osabi == ELFOSABI_SYSV || osabi == ELFOSABI_ARM)
#define VALID_ELF_HEADER(hdr,exp,size) \
  memcmp (hdr,exp,size-2) == 0 \
  && VALID_ELF_OSABI (hdr[EI_OSABI]) \
  && VALID_ELF_ABIVERSION (hdr[EI_ABIVERSION])



Thanks,
Roland
