Arch Linux

Description:

I'm compiling/developing an arch package on both an i686 and x86_64 that uses the libelf library. Both boxes are running current arch. I've found that the x86_64 version of the libelf package is missing a few include files in /usr/include, that do exist in the i686 version. This is stopping the source compiling. I'd be guessing that the same version of the libelf package on i686 and x86_64 should have the same files, hence the bug report.
