I think that's a reasonable plan.  It makes things no less object-file
netural than they are now, which is OK.  (And, before someone else
points it out, I believe it was I who started using libelf in the LTO
prototype, so I know full well how we got here!)  I certainly have no
problem with using elfcpp over libelf.
