Description Ed Santiago 2014-01-30 21:15:55 UTC

eu-readelf 0.152 is unable to read (some) 64-bit s390x archives:

   not a valid ELF file

This blocks internal testing.

The fix is, I believe, commit e1873141a517738d8c50923e40525bb2ae6db68a.

This was fedora bug #843019 for which Petr wrote a fix which was accepted upstream and part of elfutils 0.155 (indeed the commit mentioned in the description). He also wrote a backport against the fedora elfutils package elfutils-0.154-sym64.patch
