Why?  Do you want to implement a silent readelf mode where it
validates an ELF input, returning validity via exit status?  If so,
then why say that bad leb128 values are OK?  The patch doesn't make
sense.

readelf non-zero exit status is currently for cases where readelf
can't process the file for some reason.
