readelf comes from binutils, eu-readelf comes from elfutils,
which contain Ulrich's reimplementation of a lot of the ELF
code.  The stuff in binutils is of, ummm, dubious quality but
has to be carried because binutils has a target of working
"everywhere", while elfutils is free to concentrate on just
Linux.   Not sure how widespread distro uptake of elfutils is -
I just haven't checked; it's clearly there in Redhat/Fedora.
