The need to maintain elf/elf.h and scripts/glibcelf.py in parallel
results in a backporting hazard: they need to be kept in sync to
avoid elf/tst-glibcelf consistency check failures. glibcelf (unlike
tst-glibcelf) does not use the C implementation to extract constants.
This applies the additional glibcpp syntax checks to <elf.h>.
This changereplaces the types derived from Python enum types with
custom types _TypedConstant, _IntConstant, and _FlagConstant. These
types have fewer safeguards, but this also allows incremental
construction and greater flexibility for grouping constants among
the types. Architectures-specific named constants are now added
as members into their superclasses (but value-based lookup is
still restricted to generic constants only).
Consequently, check_duplicates in elf/tst-glibcelf has been adjusted
to accept differently-named constants of the same value if their
subtypes are distinct. The ordering check for named constants
has been dropped because they are no longer strictly ordered.
Further test adjustments: Some of the type names are different.
The new types do not support iteration (because it is unclear
whether iteration should cover the all named values (including
architecture-specific constants), or only the generic named values),
so elf/tst-glibcelf now uses by_name explicit (to get all constants).
PF_HP_SBP and PF_PARISC_SBP are now of distinct types (PfHP and
PfPARISC), so they are how both present on the Python side. EM_NUM
and PT_NUM are filtered (which was an oversight in the old
conversion).
The new version of glibcelf should also be compatible with earlier
Python versions because it no longer depends on the enum module and its
advanced features.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
