We have been using afl (American Fuzzy Lop) in an ad-hoc way to find
issues. I have used OSS-Fuzz for some other projects, but found it
very painful to get any results out if you don't have a google
account. If you can set it up so that it posts the results and
artifacts to the mailinglists that would be great.

If possible I would try write something a bit more specific than just
reusing eu-readelf. When using eu-readelf you'll basically first have
to go through libdwfl and libdw initialization, there are various
sanity checks that probably mean the fuzzer will not reach libelf for
more interesting input files. Take a peek at some of the simpler elf
tests (under test) if you want to really fuzz libelf itself. Maybe
using elfcpy and then elfcmp to make sure the copy is really identical
would make a fun fuzzcase.

Cheers,

Mark
