Hi,

Regarding these four libdwarf.so symbols:

00000000000048c0 T get_attr_desc
0000000000004ae0 T get_form_desc
0000000000004770 T get_sht_desc
0000000000004bb0 T get_tag_desc

I've observed that:

- They don't follow the usual libdwarf naming convention (dwarf_*).

and

- They aren't used anywhere else in world.

This makes me suspect their purpose is only for internal use within libdwarf.

Is it intentional that they're public symbols?
