+- Update to version 0.173
+
+  More fixes for crashes and hangs found by afl-fuzz. In particular various
+  functions now detect and break infinite loops caused by bad DIE tree cycles.
+
+  readelf: Will now lookup the size and signedness of constant value types
+           to display them correctly (and not just how they were encoded).
+
+  libdw: New function dwarf_next_lines to read CU-less .debug_line data.
+         dwarf_begin_elf now accepts ELF files containing just .debug_line
+         or .debug_frame sections (which can be read without needing a DIE
+         tree from the .debug_info section).
+         Removed dwarf_getscn_info, which was never implemented.
+
+  backends: Handle BPF simple relocations.
+            The RISCV backends now handles ABI specific CFI and knows about
+            RISCV register types and names.
+
+- add cfi-fix.patch: make build green on arm target
+
