71<p>debuginfod is a web service that indexes ELF/DWARF debugging resources
72by build-id and serves them over HTTP.
73</p>
74<p>Binutils can be built with the debuginfod client library
75<code>libdebuginfod</code> using the <samp>--with-debuginfod</samp> configure option.
76This option is enabled by default if <code>libdebuginfod</code> is installed
77and found at configure time. This allows <code>objdump</code> and
78<code>readelf</code> to automatically query debuginfod servers for
79separate debug files when the files are otherwise not found.
80</p>
81<p>debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178.
82You can get the latest version from &lsquo;https://sourceware.org/elfutils/&rsquo;.
