Niagara Process Image and ABI ELF format

There has been one thing since I have been working
on Niagara. From solaris process mgt point of view,
process image with ELF format addressed as part
of ABI standard starting the Solaris binary interface.

ELF addresses both platform independent and
processor specific specifications. For processor dependent
ABI standards include the routine sequence
(system calls, stack mgt etc) and Solaris interface for signals,
process initialization etc.

Does this mean Niagara inherit most the SPARC IV+
functional calls and stack mgt, process mgt and signal
interface ?
