readelf was not written with the intention of being used as a
library. That does not mean however that the expression printing code
could not be moved into a separate file and then compiled in to both
gdb and readelf.
One thing though - readelf does not, and should not, used the bfd
library. One of its main goals is to provide an alternative to bfd
for parsing and displaying ELF files, so that it can act as a
sanity/bug check.
Cheers
