Summary

Nothing special here,
output format is similar to the format used by binutils readelf and ELF Tool Chain readelf.

Should we instead switch DT_NEEDED to be like DT_AUXILIARY? This would be similar to the format used by binutils readelf and ELF Tool Chain readelf.

ELF Tool Chain:

Dynamic section at offset 0xd30 contains 25 entries:
  Tag                Type                  Name/Value
 0x0000000000000001 NEEDED               Shared library: [libc.so.7]
 0x000000000000000e SONAME               Library soname: [libdl.so.1]

Binutils:

Dynamic section at offset 0xd30 contains 25 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libc.so.7]
 0x000000000000000e (SONAME)             Library soname: [libdl.so.1]

Ah, now I see why I did it in that way for DT_AUXILIARY in D24138. I was wondering today why I implemented such a inconsistent output format that time :)
So do what other think ? Should we be consistent with other readelf utils it seems ?

One note, the ordering of the value tags differs wrt GNU ld. It shouldn't matter, just something I noticed.
