Title:RHEA-2015:0369: elfutils bug fix and enhancement update (Moderate)
Description:The elfutils packages contain a number of utility programs and libraries related to the creation and maintenance of executable code.

The elfutils packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.160, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. The most notable enhancements are as follows:

  • Support for ELFv2 application binary interface on the little-endian variant of IBM Power Systems has been added to elfutils.
  • Support for unwinding on ARM 64-bit architecture has been added to elfutils.
  • Support for DWZ multifiles in elfutils is now enabled by default and no longer experimental.
  • A new option, "-F", "--force", has been added to the eu-unstrip utility for combining files with nonmatching ELF headers.
  • The eu-stack utility is now able to display DWARF debuginfo function names for frames and can use DWARF debuginfo to show inlined functions and frames.
  • Several new functions have been added to the libdw library. (BZ#1109245)

    Users of elfutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
