To make my point in a different way, the GNU tools do a lot of things
which aren't covered by any ABI. That doesn't make them wrong.
For example, the i386 ELF backend supports 8-bit and 16-bit
relocations. They are not covered by any ABI, but they are required
to build 16-bit code used by PC bootstrap code.
