Ok, just confirming:

The word size and endianness and alignment requirements and such of ELF files 
won't change when they're built for a different platform?  (I.E The x86 ldd 
can read arm binaries just fine, reliably?)

In which case, life is good and I've been trying to do something pointless.  
Not the first time. ;)
