for documenting the Elf{32,64}_Nhdr structure,
the sections/segments that contain notes, and how to interpret them.  I've
been lazy and only included the GNU extensions here,

Any chance you include the non-GNU stuff also? Or, failing that,
some clear statements at appropriate points about what is not
documented.

the trouble i was running into is that the man pages says it documents
the elf.h header, but the one installed by glibc doesn't have defines
for all the non-GNU stuff.  so if i put in details about the FreeBSD
namespace, it'll have defines like NT_FREEBSD_THRMISC.  none of those
show up in the current elf.h though so people will get errors.

i'm fine with that though if you are.

Actually, it sounds like your original approach is best then.

i'll send some patches to glibc and see if i can't get the defines merged.
if so, i'll update the man page.

Okay. Thanks!

Cheers,

Michael
