Hi; thanks for this patch. Mostly it looks good, but I
have a couple of review comments; details below.

Unlike malloc(), g_new() can never fail. So the error check
for NULL becomes redundant, and we can remove it. Similarly
in the other cases below (including the g_malloc() call).

This isn't the only place where we free the memory we
allocate here. The other place is the "free(kdbg)" at the
bottom of the main() function. So for consistency we should
change that also to g_free().

Similarly here the buffer we allocated is usually returned
from this function, assigned to some struct field, and then
free()d much later on. So we should also switch all the other
free() calls in this file to g_free().
We should end up with no calls to free() left at all in
the contrib/elf2dmp/ source files, I think.
