Nah, I have too much work while testing working of latest firefox 16.0.1
for buildroot right now and trying
to push patches upstream.

And I let all the honor for that elfutils work to go for Boldan.

But I did some quick checking of those patches and all those are for
older than 0.155 that Boldan is trying to compile
and that uclibc-support.patch needs some tuning to be applied cleanly
for 0.155 version and there is no mention
of obstack() function problem being fixed (if using uClibc) in any of them.

Maybe it can be fixed without using gnulib (witch provides obstack
implementation similar to glibc) and using some
standard comforming function(s) but I could not find any.

Stefan
