Re: [PATCH 1/2] bfd: add basic support for BTF debug info
This patch introduces initial support for BTF debug info into BFD. It includes necessary header files and C source code for handling BTF data structures and decoding functions. The changes are intended to align with GCC’s BTF definitions, which are based on Linux kernel specifications, enabling BFD to work with BTF-formatted debug information.
