I haven't considered shipping cygwin with perfparser. Is that actually
possible? It looks like it needs some installation procedure I would
have to burden the user with.
I guess shipping cygwin with perfparser would make me a 3PP [1]. Sounds
like fun.

Hi,
I'll answer some questions here:
Given that Windows doesn't even use ELF why would you even want elfutils on
such a platform?
There is a large number of developers who build software for ELF-based
embedded systems on windows and test/debug/profile/deploy it over some
network or USB conn

Indeed I have noticed the other patches, but I don't think they are the
same as mine. So, now we have a three way merge.
I guess some more of the changes could be merged if properly cleaned up
and made to benefit other obscure platforms, too. However, there are a
few I got a definite "no" for.

Hi,
keeping the windows/elfutils fork up to date definitely is a lot of
work, which is why I haven't found the time to do it for a while.
However, perfparser could in fact also use debuginfod (with some caveats).
I guess that some more of my patches could be upstreamed if properly
cleaned up
