I like it.  I asked for this change about two months ago when I noticed
it on mips-elf.  And there's a typo in the message you're removing,
too.

[On the related hand, we just had some reports about a case where the OS
ABI is isn't detected (on uClibc) - do you think a (configure.tgt based
or *.mt based rather than in a header, I think) way to specify the
default OS ABI based on the target triplet would be appropriate?

Linux kernels do not have ABI tagging, which comes from glibc, but
generally use the Linux OS ABI.]
