   Err, the ARM target deals with multiple OS settings in the multi-arch
   framework...

This won't work at all for my case.  There is no "elfosabi" to use to
distinguish between Solaris ELF 32-bit Sparc (which has 16 byte long
doubles) and Linux ELF 32-bit Sparc (which has 8 byte long doubles).

The OS tag is listed as SYSV in both cases.

Maybe I can say "there is no way to distinguish whether it is a Linux
32-bit Sparc binary or a Solaris 32-bit Sparc one" 50 more times and
people would begin to understand the situation.

Here, let me show everyone exactly what I am saying:

? uname -a
Linux nuts.ninka.net 2.4.19-pre7 #1 SMP Fri Apr 19 20:18:39 PDT 2002 sparc64 unknown
? readelf -h /bin/sh | grep OS
  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
? 

bash-2.03$ uname -a
SunOS caip.rutgers.edu 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise-10000
bash-2.03$ readelf -h /bin/sh | grep OS
  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V
bash-2.03$ 

See?
