Interesting tool. For my recent work I too have found a use for the elf package, but its lack of a full binary instance and no parsing of .symtab or .dynstr sections limits its usefulness. This isn't a debilitating limitation - you can use elf for basic inspection then perform mutations via objcopy and ld, which are more likely to have any oddities / corner cases accounted for anyway.

Hi, At my work we ran into a situation where we started wishing there was a way to take a dynamically linked executable and create a statically linked bundle out of it. Little bit of googling got me to statifier - http://statifier.sourceforge.net/statifier/main.html. The project seems a little old and when I tried it out on my 32bit RHEL5 box, the statically linked file did not run. So I thought it would be a good exercise to try and use Haskell's Elf module (Data.Elf) and attempt to build a statifier. Just wanted to understand if anyone's tried this before or have any advice for me. -- Regards, Kashyap
