I spent quite a lot of time looking at the output of readelf too. I was kind of hoping Linux was the only platform not using it's OSABI value, which would have worked. The only other thing I thought of suggesting was having the ELFOSABI_NONE case ifdef'd so that lldb defaults to the platform that it was built for - on the assumption that you are probably opening a core from the machine you are on. (So on Linux ELFOSABI_NONE would mean Linux, on FreeBSD it would mean FreeBSD.) That would have meant lldb behaved differently depending on where it was compiled which seems wrong and would introduce awkward to debug behaviour so I ended up talking myself out of it.
