Not quite, just that the note types are vendor-specific and in a namespace specific to the note name (vendor). `NT_PRSTATUS`, `NT_FPREGSET`, and `NT_FPREGSET` happen to have the same value on Linux and FreeBSD. We don't currently have definitions in our ELF headers for Linux-specific note types like NT_LWPSTATUS, and I'd find it somewhat odd to add them without somehow putting them in a namespace in the header.
