At least ELFv2 ABI is correct.  "ELF ABI v2" is not.

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 :-)
