I offered a patch. Would you care to offer a different patch?
Give the literal URL that you intend. Include the URL in the patch!
An actual citation (author, title, URL, date) is more valuable than
"search the web", even if the URL should be come stale.
There is more than one spec. <elf.h> is one of them, and it is available
without searching. It is a fault on the MIPS milieu that one must search
for the spec. The obvious candidate after searching:
http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/manuals/4000/007-4658-001/pdf/007-4658-001.pdf
says only "Draft version 2.5". Was it ever adopted? When, and by whom?
Is there a more-authoritative version? Has it been superseded?
Patch, please?
