I can compile it with elfutils-0.137 and some compiling options on RHEL5. We need the following change in Makefile. - $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJ_ARCH) -o $@ $< -static -ldw -lelf -lz + $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(OBJ_ARCH) -o $@ $< -static -ldw -lbz2 -lebl -ldl -lelf -lz By the way, do you have any documents/samples for dwfl_XXXX functions ? I'd like to see them for reviewing this patch. Thanks Ken'ichi Ohmichi
