Hello

There is no attach here.

[1] But only doing this check (ELF signature) is just a necessary
condition but not sufficient.
[2] Should also check the machine (sufficient), because there are
packages for example AVR and ARM that from point of view of -any are
"architecture-independence". (some "crazy" :P packages have SPARC ELFs)
[3] And also (I din't see the script, so i just suppose), you also need
to exactarc archives files (.a) and analize the content of each object
with [1] and [2]

Good Luck!
