Yes - well, sort-of.  The ELFish stuff only starts at LTO phase
where we use libelf to read those ELF sections and in WPA phase
where we use libelf to write intermediate code for the ltrans
stage (that might even work on non-ELF targets).  The issue
is probably that reading ELF sections from inside native object
formats using libelf doesn't work.  Does it?
