I think it is because this patch ends up calling
extern GElf_Sym *gelf_getsymshndx (Elf_Data *__symdata, Elf_Data *__shndxdata,
int __ndx, GElf_Sym *__sym,
Elf32_Word *__xshndx);
Which expects a pointer to a Elf32_Word, right Jiri?
Jiri, are you going to submit a new version of this patch? I processed
the first one, collecting Andrii's Acked-by, if you're busy I can try to
address the other concerns from Andrii, please let me know.
