You can search the source in Debian here:
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=3Dgelf_newehdr
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=3Dgelf_newphdr

The only things really are:
- dwz casts it to a char *.
- prelink has it's own implementation that uses unsigned long

All the rest seems to either compare it to NULL, or not even do
anything with the return value.
