No, both are completely braindead.

I added the support using the "sunos" version type for a very specific
reason:  it keeps a.out and ELF platforms uniform.  This was accepted by
general concensus a very long time ago.  Why this is no longer in libtool is
beyond me, but it should be there.

Changing this to "linux" or "freebsd-elf" will mean a crapload of PLIST
inconsistencies between a.out and ELF, among other things.  Try using
"-release", NOT "-version-info", to see the difference between the "sunos"
version_type and the others.
