+   community) to identify the OS environment ABI that the executable was
+   created for.  The ELF note information identifies a particular OS or

+   linker name and DT_NEEDED shared library names fully identify the
+   runtime environment required by an executable.
+
+   The GNU project and cooperating development efforts (including the Linux
+   community) use a vendor name string of "GNU", and a note type field with
+   value 1 for a note descriptor that indicates ABI requirements.  */
