There are more recent versions of the specification available from Motorolla, who maintain the thing for everyone. I can give you mail autoresponder addresses, if necessary. The ftp.uiunix.ui.org FTP server contents contained both ELF and DWARF specifications. They were part of the archive which I saved (along with the TET and ETET changes needed to run NIST/PCTS, actually, and the draft SPEC1170). If they are still maintaining the archive, it should be available from ftp.digibd.com (Digiboard). I think they recently changed their name?
