I think GregKH pointed to one such tool, libabigail? We are working on
others too.

I should mention one of the others here:
https://github.com/skozina/kabi-dw

It's quite comparable to libabigail in the way it works, the main differences are:
- written in pure C
- depends only on elf-utils and flex/yacc
- it's much simpler (4k LOC)
- stores the type information in the text files and compares those instead of directly comparing two sets of DWARF data
