Skimming over the patch I noticed you duplicate libiberties xcrc32
functionality.

Also the additions to posix.c probably belong to dwarf.c and elf.c (the feature
is dwarf + elf specific but proper abstraction / #ifdefing should
ensure compiling
also succeeds for non-dwarf / non-elf platforms).

Leaving actual review to the maintainer (CCed).

Thanks,
Richard.
