Glad to see it builds just fine. Note that there is some porting
required to make it really work for ARM64 ELF binaries. As is it
should work fine for all generic ELF stuff and the existing arches
(all elfutils libraries work cross-arch). It shouldn't be too much
work doing a full port. Basically elfutils needs an updated elf.h
from glibc and some definitions in backends/ for ARM64 specific
ELF relocations and DWARF register mappings. And ideally there is
a new ARM64 specific test file added so the port can be tested on
other platforms too. The recent Tilera TILE-Gx port might be the
easiest way to see what kind of things are necessary for full
architecture support:

Ideally make check should show zero failures. There are both cross-arch
and self-tests that check things look fine. Do you have results published
somewhere?

Please feel free to contact the main elfutils developer list:
