I've got a customer here that's all excited about ELF binaries. They have a product they'd like to see run on z/Series linux but there is no declaration that z/Series is a supported platform. They do state that their binaries are 100% ELF compatible. What exactly does that mean for an intel based product when someone wants to have you try it on z/Series cuz it's ELF binary compatible. Shouldn't work regardless, should it?
ELF is simply a method of specifying how various segments within the executable are arranged. It does not mean that ELF binaries created for s390 are somehow magically going to run on i386 or vice versa.
