--- Comment #1 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
Proposed patch:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/debugedit/20260125214154.2673829-1-mark@klomp.org/

Unfortunately --check-elf-strict is a little too strict atm.
eu-elflint does well on the gcc/binutils generated ELF and AR files.
But using like llvm will trigger (false?) positives from eu-elflint.
There are some issues listed here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33767

But at least --check-elf is useful when collecting logs to see what might go
wrong.

There are some testcases added. The "find-debuginfo check-elf ar" test does
catch the issue resolved in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33789
