I didn't realize you were going to implement this. I have a partial
implementation in the same file name(s) that is based on libelf. I don't
see why we would want to re-invent this wheel, but I'm sure you have
your reasons. If you're opposed to libelf, then please remove it from
the lib/CodeGen/ELF directory.
