I'm dubious about this. The .gdb_index format is not standardized even in
the GNU sense. It's entirely gdb's private business. Unless and until it
becomes a standard thing that an elfutils tool could generate itself by
well-specified rules not involving language-specific knowledge, I think
this belongs in its own gdb-specific tool.
Thanks,
Roland
