They've (FreeBSD) already made their choice (llvm/c++). Therefore, I believe that elftoolchain may be orphaned. The project is not too actively developed, but it is small, written in C and it fits perfectly with the pcc, tcc, libfirm/cparser etc... and musl. I think it could be a very useful addition to musl.
