I blame toolchain for -mabi=elfv2 ! And also some blame on ABI document 
which is called ELF V2 ABI rather than ELF ABI V2 which would have been 
unambiguous.
At least ELFv2 ABI is correct.  "ELF ABI v2" is not.
I can go through and change all my stuff and config options to ELF_ABI_v2.
Please don't.  It is wrong.  Both the original PowerPC ELF ABI and the
ELFv2 one have versions themselves.  Also, the base ELF standard has a
version, and is set up so there can be incompatible versions even!  Of
course it still is version 1 to this day, but :-)
