I dropped the ELF32 part from the crash patch, could you check this?
https://github.com/k-hagio/crash/tree/support-extended-elf.v2

This is for makedumpfile:
https://github.com/k-hagio/makedumpfile/tree/support-extended-elf.v2

I will post the updated makedumpfile patch later for public review,
and would like to apply it next week.

Thanks,
Kazu
