I imagine that one person would be me. However, the libelf component of your statement would not be completely true. We use these on native Cygwin executables (PECOFF), so we created a stub libelf with just enough functionality to enable the support we needed from libdwarf. > I'd like to use these libraries to examine executables produced > for non-Windows systems.

What exact functionality and licensing do you need here. Can gdb and binutils be used? > Is there a precompiled package for libelf and libdwarf available?
