OSABI on Linux Distros



Hi

What is the reason why we emit OSABI value as "UNIX - System V" (ELFOSABI_SYSV) even on GNU/Linux systems? Shouldn't it be just "GNU" (ELFOSABI_GNU)?

I checked some major GNU/Linux distros like RHEL, SuseEL, Ubuntu, etc. Even though binaries use GNU extensions and ABI, the ELF is still marked as SYSV/None. Even a "core" file shows SYSV/None.
