Hi Joel,

Have a look at PR 10654 again, it demonstrates using readelf there.

Essentially you need to use the -wL switch to readelf to dump the file 
name/line number to address table and then compare this with the 
disassembled code to see how the addresses match up.  Readelf itself 
does not have the equivalent of objdump's --source option, so you have 
to do the checking by hand.

Assuming that you can reproduce the problem using the latest binutils 
sources, please could you open a bug report at:

   http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/

Including a test case will really help us track down the problem.

Cheers
   Nick
