Well, it frightens me a bit to add something called "LINUX" in all GNU systems: what if somebody adds something there that we don't want to add to some GNU system? What if we want to add something for GNU/Hurd that Linux people do not want to add? I know that the dynamic linker is currently mostly shared, but the very fact that ELFOSABI_LINUX and ELFOSABI_HURD are already separate in binutils worries me. Samuel
