I thing freedesktop.org (FDO) didn't know they could register a new
constant under the GNU ELF notes namespace. But it really is just a
companion note to NT_GNU_BUILD_ID in the GNU namespace. So it would be
really convenient if it gets into the glibc elf.h so that others can
pick it up and use it.
Cheers,
Mark
