I this really an issue?
libelf has two public headers which are placed in the includedir and so
should be simply included as #include <libelf.h> and #include <gelf.h>.
libdw does indeed put its headers in includdir/elfutils, but as far as
I know everybody includes them using that subdir, so #include
<elfutils/libdw.h> and #include <elfutils/libdwfl.h>, etc.
Wouldn't this change how people include the headers?
Do we want to change it?
Thanks,
