Indeed it does not. We're still using FreeBSD's original elfdump. The ELF Tool Chain project (which provides the objcopy, size, strings etc. that we use) also imported FreeBSD's elfdump and made some enhancements, including the ability to handle .a files. Unfortunately there are a few changes which exist in FreeBSD's elfdump but not ELF Tool Chain's version. We need to port those from FreeBSD to ELF Tool Chain before we can migrate to ELF Tool Chain's elfdump. _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
