Having the ELF Tool Chain install a library named libdwarf is not a
bug. ELF Tool Chain's libdwarf implements* the same API as the
LGPL-licensed libdwarf from the now-defunct SGI and thus is installed
with the same file name. It may be that it is desirable to have two
implementations of libraries providing the same API installed at the
same time, but that is out of scope of this project and should be
addressed by those packaging the software for a specific operating
system. (Debian's alternatives system, for example.)

I'll not comment on the trademarkability, or lack thereof, of
"libdwarf" as a library file name.

* Or at least, is intended to implement the same API. If or where it
does not, _that_ is a bug.
