The elfutils.org libelf implementation can be found here: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=tree;f=libelf;hb=HEAD There are some other implementations, but some aren't maintained and others aren't packaged for any distro (anymore). libelf is a semi- standard "SVR4 Unix" library, so you might also find it for some none GNU/Linux OSes like Solaris. The ELF specification itself is contained in the System V Application Binary Interface (gABI). The libelf library itself isn't actually officially part of the specification. But we still do try to keep the implementations (source) compatible through the generic-abi mailinglist. Cheers, Mark
