If you are asking whether elfutils supports static linking then then the answer is currently no. The tools, libdw and libasm that rely on libebl load the backend code for the various arches through ldopen. See eblopenbackend.c. If you are asking how to debug a non-installed version of an elfutils tool then doing the following should just work: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=backends:libelf:libdw:libasm gdb --args src/readelf ... Cheers, Mark
