The ELF Tool Chain project provides BSD-licensed + implementations of compilation tools and libraries for building + and analyzing ELF objects. The project began as part of &os; + but later became an independent project in order to encourage + wider participation from others in the open-source developer + community.

+ +

In the last quarter of 2015 the ELF Tool Chain tools were + updated to a snapshot of upstream Subversion revision 3272. + Improvements include better input file validation, RISC-V + support, support for Xen ELF notes, additional MIPS and ARM + relocations, better performance, and bug fixes.

+ +

The ELF Tool Chain project is planning a new release in + the first quarter of 2016, which should facilitate wider + testing and use by projects other than &os;.

+ + + + The FreeBSD Foundation + + + + +

Add missing functionality (PE/COFF suppor) to + elfcopy and migrate the base system build.

+ + + +

Fix issues found by fuzzing inputs to the tools.

+ + + +

Add automatic support for separate debug files.
