In theory it should work; ELF is ELF, after all, regardless of the
compiler that generates it.

Two things:
1. You don't need to brandelf libraries, only executables.
2. You can make brandelf shove anything at all into the brand
section by using "brandelf -f -t insert-brand-here /file/name"
Note that SysVR4 currently uses "SVR4" as its brand, not "svr4". I
might change this at some point, though. UNIX keyboards aren't meant
to have shift keys on them, after all :-)
