System: NetBSD twitty 6.99.19 NetBSD 6.99.19 (TWITTY) #1: Wed May 22 19:52:07 CEST 2013 mlelstv@pussyfoot:/home/netbsd-current/obj.evbarm/home/netbsd-current/src/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/TWITTY evbarm
Architecture: earm
Machine: evbarm
>Description:
When you use readelf to dump the sections of a shared library compiled
for evbarm with either old or EABI, it prints warnings:

readelf: Warning: corrupt note found at offset 18 into core notes
readelf: Warning:  type: 0, namesize: 00000000, descsize: 00000000
readelf: Warning: corrupt note found at offset 20 into core notes
readelf: Warning:  type: 0, namesize: 00000000, descsize: 00000000

This is either a problem in the linker or readelf being too picky.

You can copy the library to another system, for example netbsd-6/i386,
and readelf there will show the same warnings.

>How-To-Repeat:
readelf -a /lib/libc.so >/dev/null
