ELFUTILS 0.174 - http://elfutils.org/

A new release of elfutils is available at:
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/elfutils/0.174/
or https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.174/

* NEWS *

libelf, libdw and all tools now handle extended shnum and
shstrndx correctly.

elfcompress: Don't rewrite input file if no section data needs
             updating. Try harder to keep same file mode bits
             (suid) on rewrite.

strip: Handle mixed (out of order) allocated/non-allocated
       sections.

unstrip: Handle SHT_GROUP sections.

backends: RISCV and M68K now have backend implementations to
          generate CFI based backtraces.

Fixes CVE-2018-16062, CVE-2018-16402 and CVE-2018-16403.
