I will review this but first need to know what is difference between this libdwarf and the one I found on my F9 machine libdwarves1?
Thanks! Good question, there are a number of DWARF utilities and libraries here. The dwarves and libdwarves1 packages, and elfutils's eu-readelf packages use elfutils's libdw as a dwarf reader. Similarly, binutils includes the readelf utility.
However, the ABI's and interfaces for each are very different. In addition, libdwarf includes a producer and DWARF verification tool (dwarfdump).
