--- Comment #6 from Brandon Bergren <k...@bdragon.rtk0.net> ---
While I agree that using ELFv1 on LE is a completely unsupported configuration
and need not be supported, the OpenPOWER ELF V2 ABI is fully defined and
intended for use in both little- and big-endian environments.

Due to the improved toolchain support (specifically, lld's dropping of ELFv1
support entirely, and ELFv2 being a lot less "weird" of an ABI meaning it tends
to have less esoteric issues and can more easily leverage mainstream
optimizations) I see the future of BE on POWER to be ELFv2 as well.

And yes, FreeBSD is moving towards ELFv2 at a rapid pace. (I personally am
running ELFv2 userlands exclusively in FreeBSD on my POWER9 machines.)
