   I'm not behaving alone in the world, it seems Bintuils is.  IF these
   numbers are assigned, why aren't they in common.h???

elf/common.h in the binutils is not the master file.  The master file
is kept by SCO, since they are the current keepers of the ELF
specification.

   You could at least commit the numbers you know.

   What other numbers do you know so I can change the patch?

HJ just commited a patch with the assigned numbers.  Thanks, HJ.
