WRT the debug information, ELF as such doesn't define it -- that would
be DWARF; or there are some implementations (Solaris, for example) that
use stabs or other weird stuff. Plus, COFF per-se isn't rich enough
to represent a lot of things that are often wanted in debugging info;
thus, extensions like XCOFF (IBM).


Debug information is a very tangled web.
