Re: [Elftoolchain-developers] my current list of workarounds to get elftoolchain to install on Ubuntu

[Daniel W. <dan...@gm...>]

If you install it in the global namespace as "libdwarf" and it
therefore creates an anti-dependency on the original, then, yes, you
have stolen the name of the previous project.  If instead you
installed it under some elftoolchain/libdwarf, or maybe
elftoolchain-libdwarf, that might be different.
