Does this mean we do not need brandelf for the linuxulator anymore
(do static linux programs contain this field with a correct value)? If
yes:
 - Please document it least in the doc repository in
"en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/book.sgml" (version 800071
should be close enough, so just adding a little note there is enough).
This way we can take this into account for the linux stuff in the ports
collection.
 - I don't know if this should be mentioned in the brandelf man-page too
in this case. At least the evaluation order should be mentioned there,
I think.

Bye,
Alexander.
