Bug ID: 22138
Summary: Support marking "debug" info files with special
ET_GNU_DEBUG_* values.
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW

Target Milestone: ---
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #22136 +++
We need a way to identify "debug" info files, which appear like they are ELF
files but if inspected are actually missing a lot of information and can't be
properly parsed without the original DSO or executable.
To that end I suggest we adopt:
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_EXEC
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_DYN
* ET_GNU_DEBUG_REL
As ways to mark these files a debug information files. We can place them into
the OS-specific area, and audit that we don't overlap anything important from
other OSs.
We would need new binutils options to edit, adjust and set the "debug"-ness of
files.
