    I think you're right, these aren't in the gABI, just in the libelf.h
header.

Of course, the header is expected to reflect the gABI, and it's easy to
see how the header would be persuasive documentation to anyone trying to
work out what the gABI intends. It's somewhat less than gABI, and somewhat
more than "some guy on google says". :-)
