I like the stats ;-)

I assume some of the current includes can be removed as well:

#include <elf.h>
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <sys/ttydefaults.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "../../util/sort.h"
#include "../../util/util.h"
#include "../../util/hist.h"
#include "../../util/debug.h"
#include "../../util/symbol.h"
#include "../browser.h"
#include "../helpline.h"
#include "../libslang.h"
