When building and packaging this release please look at the improved
configure output which will show all features detected/enabled and the
recommended settings (and which features can be enabled, but are not
supported).

All known ways to crash the elfutils tools and libraries caused by bogus
ELF files or DWARF data have been fixed. This release is Valgrind
memcheck clean, GCC -fsanitizer=undefined clean and the libelf and libdw
libraries don't have unbounded stack usage anymore as checked by GCC
-Wstack-usage.
