   I've been plumbing the depths of ARM Linux corefiles lately and have
   extended readelf's capabilities in the area of dumping core files.  I
   thought I would pass along the work and see if anyone thought it was
   interesting enough for inclusion in the tree. 

Thanks for the patch.  Unfortunately, we can't include this patch as
is.  readelf needs to work in a cross-compilation environment.  That
means that it can not include header files like <sys/procfs.h> and
<sys/user.h> which do not exist on all systems.  Even in cases where
<sys/procfs.h> exists, there is no reason to assume that it defines
the NT_* macros or structs like user_fp.

Of course, the patch may still be useful for people working on ARM
GNU/Linux.
