in the .stabstr section of my hello world programm, I can find some
strings: "config/rs6000/linux", "config/xm-linux", but it seems we can't
rely on them: I can't find them in the awk command, for instance.

I wrote a piece of code to test the existence of the __libc_atexit
section, and it works. I use it to match statically linked binaries. I
wonder if GCC_SIGNATURE is worth been fixed to work on powerpc: it will
match NetBSD binaries, whereas a __libc_atexit signature does not.
