I go right into BFD to find this kind of thing :-) ;-)
Of course you'll find that most systems do basically the same thing
(which is why we our ELF core file support isn't all that configurable).
HP is the biggest deviant from the de-facto standard of having phdrsto
describe the memory regions and a PT_NOTE phdr which contains info on
the registers, and other juicy info.
