Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] tools build: Add feature check for elfutils libasm
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 00:07:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609070732.545416-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609070732.545416-1-irogers@google.com>

This commit introduces a build-time feature test for the elfutils libasm
library in the shared tools/build system. It adds the test program and
updates the Makefiles to attempt building it to detect support.

Note on static linking: pkg-config for libdw/libelf on modern systems
does not list -lebl as a dependency. Older versions of elfutils that
require explicitly linking -lebl statically are unsupported by this
feature check.
