The problem is then you don't know exactly where the

Sorry but I don't catch what you mean quite well. It's obvious which message is printed on the screen, isn't it?
Yes, but this means that the text no longer describes what it is trying to check. If somebody runs it on a OS called Foo it might trick the him/her into thinking that we know about and have added special handling for OS Foo, which we haven't.
What do you think about replacing "Linux dll" with "GNU style ELF dll"?
Acceptable, but it is not my decision.
