When working with non-standard ELF files, the st_info and st_other fields in the symbol entry might be used to store format-specific information. Since the meaning of these values are defined by the specific format, it seems non-practical to use a set of methods to access this information.
This pull request makes both symbols fields public and, thus, accessible by the application code reading the non-standard ELF file.
