We (the tools team at Red Hat) are working on a project to add
annotations to ELF binaries, so that we can answer various questions
about them. We have set up a wiki page about the project here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Toolchain/Watermark#Markup_for_ELF_objects
We would very much like this to be something more than just an
internal project, and so we are reaching out to you for your opinions,
suggestions and advice. If you are interested in being able answer
questions such as 'how was this function compiled ?' or 'is this
library compatible with this application ?' then please take a minute
to have a look at the proposal.
Wearing my Go hat, I observe that you are mixing together general
properties ("Which (architecture specific) ABI variant is in use in
object X?") with language-specific properties ("agree upon the format
of long double?"). I encourage a clear separation of those two
different kinds of notes.
