Hi, This is hopefully the final patch set to add SHF_COMPRESSED section support to libelf, libdw and some of the elfutils utilities.
All XXXs in the code have been resolved. There has been a small interface change (as discussed on the Generic System V Application Binary Interface mailinglist) to add a ELF_CHF_FORCE flag to elf_compress and elf_compress_gnu and a slight change in return value (zero now means that the section wasn't compressed because it wasn't beneficial). This version also makes it so that libdw and libdwfl functions will automatically handle compressed ELF sections, extends the eu-readelf support a little, makes elflint recognize and check compressed sections and adds a new eu-elfcompress utility that can be used to compress or uncompress ELF sections. The code can also be found on the mjw/compress4 branch in git. Comments welcome. Kurt, this should solve the issue on Debian powerpc that you were seeing. If you could test the code on the mjw/compress4 branch that would be great. Thanks, Mark
