When it's regexed, it should probably be something like

 	(^ELF | ELF )

but I agree that ELF is the prime candidate to watch for.

Looking through what I currently have installed on my ELF/ELF64
x86_64-sun-solaris2.10 workstation, the only other thing I see that stands
out as something that we might want to exclude from noarch packages is

 	current ar archive

It's certainly possible that an ar archive could contain platform neutral
files, but that's pretty uncommon (maybe not on OS X, though?).

Other possible candidates to watch for (that might apply to non-ELF
platforms too) would be

 	, dynamically linked
 	, (not )?stripped$
