No, on the PowerPC, this .comment section does exists, but it contains
the string "GCC: (GNU) egcs-2.90.25 980302 (egcs-1.0.2 prerelease)"
repeated several times, and no reference to Linux.

No .note section at all. We can match on "GNU" in .comment, but are we
sure this is Linux if we get "GNU"? Doen't that just mean the programm
was compiled using gcc?
