Thanks. I don't know anything about the C-SKY architecture.  Do you
have an URL to the ELF/DWARF supplemental spec that describes the ELF
structures and DWARF register numbers C-SKY uses? It would be good to
have that in the commit message and/or in a comment in the backend.

In general please read the CONTRIBUTING file and add a Signed-off-by
line if you agree with and can contribute the patch under the
appropriate licenses. Please also add a copyright line to the new
files.

Does qemu support full system or user-mode only C-SKY?

This is somewhat surprising. Do you build with -gdwarf-5?  If you
could make the /home/vmh/elfutilswk/src/readelf binary available
somewhere we could investigate what goes on.

This is probably because of the script modifications. The test cannot
find the running process.

This is again surprising.  I think something went wrong invoking the
test.  If you look at tests/run-dwarf-getmacros.sh you'll see that it
runs the last testcase twice. Once with 2 and once with 3
arguments. The third argument is the empty string (but could really be
anything). Maybe the empty string was lost somehow?

I haven't looked at the code yet, so maybe none of the backtrace tests
would work even if you could run in "full system mode". If you do have
a way to generate a C-SKY core file it would be interesting to see if
you can get a backtrace from it using eu-stack.

This is again most likely because of script changes.
The test cannot find the running process.
