unstrip: Add --force to force combining files when ELF headers don't match.
Older versions of GNU binutils strip would drop some ELF header flags. Causing the main ELF file and the separate .debug file to have mismatched ELF header fields. Unfortunately some distros are still shipping such files. eu-unstrip doesn't want to recombine such files. Add a more explicit explanation which fields don't match and provide a --force, -F flag to force combining such files anyway (producing a warning). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698005 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806474 Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
