HT - this might be helpful.

HT is a file editor/viewer/analyzer for executables. The goal is to combine the low-level functionality of a debugger and the usability of IDEs. We plan to implement all (hex-)editing features and support of the most important file formats.

I couldn't find something much different from ZorbaTHut's solution, but perhaps it's possible to put a name with different length and still keep the binary valid.

gelf - this could be useful too.

GElf is a generic, ELF class-independent API for manipulat- ing ELF object files. GElf provides a single, common inter- face for handling 32-bit and 64-bit ELF format object files.
