Fixed In Version: elfutils-0.152-2.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: eu-readelf was unable to read (some) 64-bit (s390x) ar archive files because it didn't supported the special entry /SYM64/ Consequence: eu-readelf would report "not a valid ELF file". Fix: Support for reading ar archives that contain special /SYM64/ entries has been added. Result: eu-readelf will properly read 64-bit ar archives.

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.
Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2014-01-30 21:54:21 UTC 
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
