I agree, but those changes are difficult to make without having
the target to test on.  In particular making sure the osabi sniffer
detects the core file correctly is something that really needs 
to be tested ...   That's why I left those things as-is for now.

Thanks!   I'll wait for a couple of days for further comments before
checking it in  (but not too long -- I really don't want mainline to
change so much I'll have to re-do the patch set ...).
