------- Additional Comments From mjw at redhat dot com  2009-06-23 07:46 -------
This comes from the following elfutils change:

    Add aliases for elf_getshnum and elf_getshstrndx.
    
    Sun in their implementation messed up the semantics of these functions.
    To get back to source code compatibility they asked for a solution.
    We simply add aliases for the two affected functions, named
    elf_getshdrnum and elf_getshdrstrndx.  The semantics remains the
    same.  Users of the old interfaces receive a warning for now.  In
    future we might make it impossible to link programs which request
    the old interfaces (binary compatibility will of course be maintained).
