Michael Kerrisk 64fb5aedb0 tzfile.5: Add information on version 2 format timezone files 
Updated using information from the tzcode 2010l release at
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.
(It's an open question whether or not a version of tzfile.5
should live independently in man-pages. It was added to the
man-pages set many years ago. For now, I'll follow a
conservative course that causes least pain to downstream,
by continuing to maintain a separate copy in man-pages.)

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594219

Daisuke HATAYAMA 6866d935b3 elf.5: Document PN_XNUM extension 
In linux-2.6.34-rc1, an ELF core extension was added; user-land tools
manipulating ELF core dump such as gdb and binutils has already been
modified before; so elf.5 needs to be modified accordingly.

You can follow information on the ELF extension via the LKML post:

The existing text is broken, because there is
no '"Note Section" format' describe below. Simplest
solution is to remove the words "described below".
