man brandelf

% brandelf -l
known ELF types are: FreeBSD(9) Linux(3) Solaris(6) SVR4(0) 

On an AMD64 system with compat_linux:
% elfdump -e /bin/cat | grep e_ident
        e_ident: ELFCLASS64 ELFDATA2LSB ELFOSABI_FREEBSD
% elfdump -e /compat/linux//bin/cat | grep e_ident
        e_ident: ELFCLASS32 ELFDATA2LSB ELFOSABI_LINUX

On a sparc64 system,
% elfdump -e /bin/cat | grep ident
        e_ident: ELFCLASS64 ELFDATA2MSB ELFOSABI_FREEBSD
