Given this is start-up code I think you could use g_new instead of
g_try_new. As it will abort on no memory you can avoid the early return
check bellow. Also is elf_phdata never persists beyond this function you
could use g_autofree (and use g_steal_pointer on the one case when it is
returned if you need it)
I would also split this patch, one for each function you convert.
Thank you for the valuable suggestions, these are obviously the better
way to go. I will hopefully employ them.
I'm now busy with my final exams. In a week or so, I will make the
changes again and properly, split the patch, and then send it as a
series regarding this file.
Thanks
