Hi Andrew,

: On some targets the output of this dump is hard to read because it's
: wider than any terminal: 300, 400 cols or so.
: 
: I'm working on a patch that elides columns that aren't used.  It's a
: bit of a hack, but I'll tidy it up if anyone thinks it's needed in the
: main code base.

I think that it is a good idea.  The whole point of readelf is to
display the contents of ELF files in a readable fashion to allow
people to examine them, and possibly debug them.  If the output is
unreadable, then the tool is not working.

Cheers
	Nick
