I didn't receive any replies whatsoever this time:

What's the next step here?  Declare our copy of <elf.h> the primary
source for GNU, and suggest that changes to it are cross-posted to the
relevant lists?

This way, if glibc needs something, we can post a patch for review, wait
some time, and then allocate the number to ourselves.

Thanks,
