Hi Prafulla,

Note - you should probably define constants for these values and put 
them into include/elf/sh.h.

This is OK.

It should not be a problem.  As long as the code correctly propagates 
the ABIVERSION value to the output bfd (which should happen 
automatically, you should not need to add any new code).

Cheers
