I think so. You can read them with `readelf -A foo.o`, and override them with 
manual `.eabi_attribute` attributes. (That's useful e.g. for indicating that 
while a binary contains NEON instructions, it doesn't strict require them for 
running. E.g. raspbian does check such tags for checking that all binaries work 
on their baseline of armv6.)
