Do not confuse your inability or unwillingness to read a specification
with the absence of such a specification.

Eh? The Wikipedia article contains links to the complete specification
for both the machine-independent and machine-dependent portions of ELF,
as well as a number of third-party resources.

Compared to absolutely *no* detail from you. The elf(5) manual page is
almost 900 lines long; I don't think it would be unfair to ask you to
write 9 lines (1%) explaining what it is you need that hasn't yet been
provided.
