Just put this on the cdt-dev group, but checking here too incase someone has
some inputs.
I have a toolchain (GNU toolchain ported for a different architecture) that
uses ELF format for binaries.
However, the current parsers in CDT don't recognize the binary.
Looking at the sources, org.eclipse.cdt.utils.elf.Elf.Attribute checks for
different fields of the ELF header.
For a start, I need to add to the switch-case for 'ehdr.e_machine', so that
it checks for my specific value.
What is the correct way to go about this? Is there some class I can
override?
Thanks,
Delicia.

Being in a similar position recently, I would guess that you need to
implement your own binary parser (i.e. the
org.eclipse.cdt.core.BinaryParser extension point), and inherit from the
existing Elf binary parser. You then add the binary parser to your
toolchain's "target platform" element.
