Re: [lto] PATCH: Locate DWARF information in ELF files

This patch makes the LTO front end open ELF files and locate the DWARF sections required for building LTO information. The ELF-specific bits are segreated into a separate file so that platforms using other object file formats can be supported in future. We will probably also need some autoconf bits to detect libelf; for now, we'll just assume its available.

Isn't libelf not part of the GNU project? Even some GNU/Linux does not
include libelf by default. Why not use BFD to read the dwarf2 info instead?
