Is there a particular way you are running eu-readelf? Is it with
generic -w or -a, or decoding a specific section type?

eu_ZIP will define an AM_CONDITIONAL for ZSTD (note this is different
from the HAVE_ZSTD, which is the am conditional added for having the
zstd program itself). You could use it in tests/Makefile.am as:

  if ZSTD
  TESTS += run-zstd-compress-test.sh
  endif

If you had a separate test... Otherwise add some variable to
TESTS_ENVIRONMENT (and installed_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) based on the Make
variable that is tested inside the shell script (somewhat like
USE_VALGRIND) maybe.

Doing AC_SUBST([zstd_LIBS]) seems correct. Why is the test moved
earlier?

You are testing for ZSTD_decompress, is that enough? Asking because I
see you are using ZSTD_compressStream2, which seems to requires libzstd
v1.4.0+.

In general how stable is the libzstd api?

You'll also need to use the AC_SUBST for LIBZSTD in config/libelf.pc.in
now, as used in the libdw.pc.in:

  Requires.private: zlib @LIBZSTD@

OK.

Haven't read the actual code yet. I'll get back to that later today.

Cheers,
