The GNU C library elf.h has everything in one file (e.g. relocation types for
various architectures). Under BSD this architecture dependent stuff is split
up into different files. It is possible to merge all these files into a big one.
Is it possible to use the GNU C library elf.h? It uses GPL v2.1+.

Before I start to work on this, I want to be sure that Newlib is in principle
the right place for this.
