:) But I think the real solution would be for someone to package
elfutils for cygwin.
https://www.cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html

That way people that need the elfutils tools on windows can just get
them through cygwin. It might not be a total solution for people
needing to use the libraries when building for mingw with some other
posix compatibility layer, but it seems the best solution for just
getting the elfutils tools easily available on Windows.

It would be great if we could get some volunteer for packaging elfutils
for cygwin.

Cheers,

Mark
