Thanks very much for submitting this patch.  There were a couple of
problems with it:

  * It did not come with ChangeLog entries for the binutils and
    include/elf directories.

  * It added a new(ish) feature to readelf, but did not document this
    in the binutils/NEWS file.

  * The formatting of the comments was incorrect.

  * You do not have a copyright assignment for binutils on file with
    the FSF.

I have fixed the first three problems, and since the patch is very
simple, (it could be described in a single sentance), I have decided
to waive the copyright requirement this time and accept the patch.  In
the future though, please do take the time to obtain a copyright
assignment and to follow the GNU Coding standards when creating a
patch.

Cheers
        Nick
