ELFUTILS 0.178 - http://elfutils.org/

A new release of elfutils is available at:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/elfutils/0.178/
or https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.178/

* NEWS *

debuginfod: New server, client tool and library to index and fetch
            ELF/DWARF files addressed by build-id through HTTP.

doc: There are now some manual pages for functions and tools.

backends: The libebl libraries are no longer dynamically loaded through
          dlopen, but are now compiled into libdw.so directly.

readelf: -n, --notes now takes an optional "SECTION" argument.
         -p and -x now also handle section numbers.
         New option --dyn-sym to show just the dynamic symbol table.

libcpu: Add RISC-V disassembler.

libdw: Abbrevs and DIEs can now be read concurrently by multiple
       threads through the same Dwarf handle.

libdwfl: Will try to use debuginfod when installed as fallback to
         retrieve ELF and DWARF debug data files by build-id.
