Description Vincent Hue CLA 2015-03-09 10:43:27 EDT 
Previous PPC64 ABI (known as 1.9) contains an opd section with function descriptors. 
An ELF file without an OPD section was marked as invalid. 
The most recent ABI (v.2) no longer uses OPD section. Function calls are now direct.

The agent needs to detect the ABI version and enable/disable the use 
of function descriptors accordingly.

The ABI version is stored in the  e_flags member of the ELF header.
