I did not catch this on the EGCS 1.1.x --> GCC 2.95 upgrade.
So propogate this change to our custom hacks.

After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.
With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.
Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries
* using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old
* with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
* and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration
* time for this is about 6mo.

source address when receiving frames (and keep using address 2 when in
pseudo-IBSS mode). This is apparently necessary in order to obtain the
true MAC address of the sending station which is needed for PPPoE.

utilities do not present the world's greatest interface, and will
undoubtably change soon. However, they do let people experiment with
extended attributes, and provide samples of how to use the syscalls.

- Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space
accesses, and make this the default.
- Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option).
- Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.
