ELF Package Notes Reference Implementation

## Description

This repository provides RPM and DEB packaging tools to generate an ELF note
that will be linked into compiled binaries (programs and shared libraries) to
provide metadata about the package for which the binary was compiled.

See [Package Metadata for Core Files](https://systemd.io/ELF_PACKAGE_METADATA/)
for the overview and details.

The new `--package-metadata` option provided by bfd, gold, mold and lld is used.

## Requirements
* binutils (>= 2.39)
* mold (>= 1.3.0)
* lld (>= 15.0.0)
