You can't make up EF_* flags this way, they are arch specific, the LSB bit
(but many others too) are already used on many architectures.
E.g.:
elf/mt.h:#define EF_MT_CPU_MRISC              0x00000001      /* default */
elf/sparc.h:#define EF_SPARCV9_PSO            0x1             /* partial store ordering */
elf/bfin.h:#define EF_BFIN_PIC                0x00000001      /* -fpic */
elf/alpha.h:#define EF_ALPHA_32BIT            0x00000001
elf/mips.h:#define EF_MIPS_NOREORDER  0x00000001
elf/m68k.h:#define EF_M68K_CF_ISA_A_NODIV     0x01  /* ISA A except for div */
elf/sh.h:#define EF_SH1                  1
elf/arm.h:#define EF_ARM_RELEXEC     0x01
elf/cris.h:#define EF_CRIS_UNDERSCORE         0x00000001
elf/ia64.h:#define EF_IA_64_TRAPNIL (1 << 0)  /* Trap NIL pointer dereferences.  */
elf/vax.h:#define EF_VAX_NONPIC               0x0001  /* Object contains non-PIC code */
elf/iq2000.h:#define EF_IQ2000_CPU_IQ2000     0x00000001      /* default */
elf/frv.h:#define EF_FRV_GPR_32               0x00000001      /* -mgpr-32 */
to name just a few.
