Serenity Ports ELF cleaner

Small utility to remove offending ELF entries:

• DT_VERNEEDED,
• DT_VERNEEDNUM
• DT_RPATH
• DT_RUNPATH
• DT_VERSYM

While the original intention was to be used on Android ELF files, this can be used on Linux and other Unix-like OSes (like SerenityOS).

Usage

usage: ./elf-cleaner <filename>
       Processes ELF files to remove DT_VERNEEDED, DT_VERNEEDNUM, DT_VERSYM, DT_RPATH
       and DT_RUNPATH entries (which the Android linker warns about)

Requirements

You need g++ 5.x version. It will not work on g++ 4.x version. For example, it works with 16.04 Ubuntu LTS, but not with 14.04 Ubuntu LTS.
