Hmm ...

FWIW, elftoolchain's brandelf was based on our brandelf, but modified
to use libelf. I think brandelf may not be needed anymore though; it's
main use was to add ELF branding notes to linux binaries for our
linuxulator.

There was a mess with the linux maintainers not wanting to use ELF
branding notes but long story short, our linuxulator understands the now
GNU branding scheme and linux is also using the standard ELF branding notes.

Pedro.
