Unless and until you persuade the gABI maintainer that STB_SECONDARY is an 
appropriate addition to the gABI, using a generic STB_* value there is 
clearly inappropriate.  There is a real person reading email to 
registry@sco.com (or was as of a couple of months ago, anyway) and that's 
who you need to persuade of the merits of STB_SECONDARY.

For an OS-specific STB_GNU_* value you'd need to persuade the binutils 
maintainers of its merits.

I have not seen any clear reason why the various suggestions Roland gave, 
which do not require an ELF extension, would not suffice for any 
libpthread issues.
