What is the relocation number? I'll add it. (I hope it's not 13 or 73. 
We've recently added PCREL17FI and PCREL22FI, respectively.)

Is it still 129? I'll add it.

If there are any other relocations you use that aren't in HP's ELF/PA 
document, please let me know.

I agree -- no big deal. The document that says they're not used is 
specifically referring to HP-UX, and was not meant to apply to other 
operating systems.


>  4) HPUX sets a precedent for PARISC, and uses a non-zero OSABI value

Well, we *do* use vendor-specific extensions. Plenty of them, in fact.
