History
Christian S.J. Peron ca3075599a Teach readelf about some OpenBSD ELF program headers 
- Add constants for OpenBSD wxneeded, bootdata and randomize to the
  FreeBSD elf_common.h file. This is the file that gets used by the
  elftoolchain library.
- Update readelf and elfdump utilities to decode these program headers
  if they are encountered.

Note: FreeBSD has it's own version of elfdump(1), which will be updated
in a subsequent commit. I am adding it here anyway because this diff is
going to be submitted upstream.

The Elftoolchain Project
========================

.. contents:: Table of Contents

Description
-----------

This software implements essential compilation tools and libraries for:

- managing program objects conforming to the ELF_ object format, and
- for managing DWARF_ debugging information in ELF objects.

The project currently implements the following utilities and
libraries:

=========== ============================================
Name        Description
=========== ============================================
ar          Archive manager.
addr2line   Debug tool.
brandelf    Manage the ELF brand on executables.
c++filt     Translate encoded symbols.
elfcopy     Copy and translate between object formats.
elfdump     Diagnostic tool.
findtextrel Find undesired text relocations.
libdwarf    DWARF access library.
libelf      ELF access library.
mcs         Manage comment sections.
nm          List symbols in an ELF object.
ranlib      Add archive symbol tables to an archive.
readelf     Display ELF information.
size        List object sizes.
strings     Extract printable strings.
