<body>
<p>The ELF Tool Chain project provides BSD-licensed
implementations of compilation tools and libraries for building
and analyzing ELF objects. The project began as part of &os;
but later became an independent project in order to encourage
wider participation from others in the open-source developer
community.</p>
<p>In the last quarter of 2015 the ELF Tool Chain tools were
updated to a snapshot of upstream Subversion revision 3272.
Improvements include better input file validation, RISC-V
support, support for Xen ELF notes, additional MIPS and ARM
relocations, better performance, and bug fixes.</p>
<p>The ELF Tool Chain project is planning a new release in
the first quarter of 2016, which should facilitate wider
testing and use by projects other than &os;.</p>
