Sure. Split patch as attached.

I am not sure I follow. This is my first patch.  It simply adds some
inputs needed for a new client/server program added upstream in the
new version.

Sure. Other distros split elfutils into multiple packages. For example fedora has:

%package libs
%package devel
%package devel-static
%package libelf
%package libelf-devel
%package libelf-devel-static
%package default-yama-scope
%package debuginfod-client
%package debuginfod-client-devel
%package debuginfod

With the main elfutils package containing all binaries except for
debuginfod-find (the client) and debuginfod (the server). With
appropriate requires/recommends (I don't yet know how those work in
guix).

OK split in two. The tests patches are together, because they do the
same thing. I am not sure an upstream git commit id link is better
than simply the commit id, but added if it is more convenient.

Cheers,

Mark
