Hmmh.  On Fedora, the fact the header elfutils/libebl.h was installed by
the elfutils-devel package made me think that it was OK to use it.
Thanks for clarifying this.

Argh, this is what I wanted to avoid.  Okay, I'll work on this tomorrow
then.

Eric, sorry for this annoyance, I'll work on this tomorrow and come up
with a way around the use of elfutils/libebl.h so that we can you
libabigail on ubuntu.

I'll reply to this email thread to keep you posted.

Thank you for raising this issue,

Cheers,
