Thanks, Navin. Has this been proposed for inclusion in elfutils? What's
the status on that? Or are you just keeping this locally?

Looking at the patch, I'm not really a fan of a few of those changes,
from a code point of view. consider_phdr() takes 35 arguments now
for example.

Do you have more information on the test failures? Are they caused by
LLVM/clang bugs?



Thanks,
Timm
