Right.

We can add pretty much anything there that is useful.  Architecture is
already supported (<architecture>), or is that not sufficient?  The
OSABI setting that Ulrich is referring to covers the bare metal / OS
distinction, too.

Endianness is not currently present but would be an easy addition.
I haven't bothered, because in most cases you have an executable file;
that doesn't tell you the CPU arch, but it does tell you the
endianness.
