libelf | Freestanding libelf extracted from elfutils

libelf is a C library. libelf has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This package contains an up-to-date and complete libelf extracted from elfutils, along with a simple Makefile to build and install it. Unlike the upstream package, this libelf builds cleanly on both musl and glibc, using either clang or gcc. Users are spared the joy of autotools, and on musl systems it does not require extra libraries for argp, fts or obstack. The sole dependency is zlib for handling compressed ELF sections. The elfutils tools, libdwarf and libasm are not included: you will need the full upstream distribution to build those. However, they are a much more unusual requirement than libelf itself. (For instance, this library alone is sufficient for building an x86-64 Linux kernel with stack validation.).
