   John R. Levine to All   
   ELF and DWARF tools ?

   From: johnl@iecc.com   
      
   I am working on a project which involves building a compiler toolchain for   
   yet another architecture.  The obvious object format to use is ELF and   
   DWARF, and I'm trying to figure out the least painful way to do that.   
      
   One possibility is the GNU bfd/binutils route.  That's very complete, and   
   very large.  Another is libelf and libdwarf, which seem (from googlage) to   
   have good reputations.   
      
   Because I am a lazy programmer, I would like to do as much of the   
   prototyping as I can in python.  I see PyBFD which claims that it wraps   
   much of the BFD libraries.   
      
   Any suggestions?  Are there python wrappers for libelf or libdwarf?  How   
   hard is it to add a new architecture to BFD or libelf?
