Strange, those are the last two self tests in run-strip-groups.sh:

# self test, shouldn't impact non-ET_REL files at all.
runtest ../src/strip 0
runtest ../src/strip.o 1

Could you provide those two (src/strip and src/strip.o) object files somewhere?
Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2012-04-12 09:05:54 UTC 
Also from the logs it is as if you are building without -g, in that case there is indeed no DWARF debuginfo available. Though I would expect more self-tests failing in that case. But maybe this really is the only self tests that requires DWARF?

Comment 6 Mark Wielaard 2012-04-12 09:35:42 UTC 
OK, so the reason is indeed that you are trying to build elfutils without -g. Then this self-test does indeed fail. Don't do that :)

I am not sure it really makes sense to support the self-tests if somebody removes the -g flag from the build. But since this seems to be the only test that does rely on it we could test for it I guess and just skip it in that case.

Do you really want/need to build things without -g?

No - Gentoo fixed the package - thx.
