Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including ld (a linker),

This update fixes some problems in core file handling, including core files
generated by PIE binaries.  It also adds support for DWARF 4 format features to
libdw and eu-readelf, including some new libdw interfaces for accessing new
DWARF details.
