# This package used to provide the old 'libelf' library. This had a sane
# build system and caused us no trouble. There are two issues with the
# old library, 1. It's been unmaintained for years. 2. The Linux kernel
# will (soon) no longer be compatible with it.
#
# elfutils is not an option (as an alternative) as it heavily depends on
# glibc. To package it for a musl based system 8 or so patches are needed
# as well as various libc "extensions" from glibc (fts, obstack, argp).
#
# elftoolchain requires BSD make to build. Rather than package BSD make,
# let's just do the equivalent ourselves in shell. This is fairly simple
# as all we're building is 'libelf' and not the entire toolchain.
