Description of problem: 
Latest elfutils 0.119 fail to compile if there isn't already an elfutils  
installed on the system, of course it should use the compiled elfutils from  
source dir: this occurs because for compilation of some files from elfutils,  
there is missing information on Makefile.am to use the libelf compiled in  
source dir, so compiler/linker tries to find libelf on the system and don't  
find it because it isn't installed and compilation fails (so you can't see the  
bug if you already have libelf installed on the system). 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
0.119 
 
How reproducible: 
Obtain elfutils 0.119. Try to compile it on a system without libelf/elfutils  
already installed. 
  
Steps to Reproduce:  
See "How reproducible"  
    
Actual results:  
Compilation fails, example output:

Expected results:

Additional info:  
I'm opening this bug here for Fedora because elfutils doesn't have an official  
home page/links or bugzilla or mailing list itself (if something exists I 
couldn't find), and I think it's better then mailing the author(s) directly 
and elfutils was created and/or is modified by Ulrich Drepper and Roland 
McGrath from what I could see in the ChangeLog file entries, and they work for 
Red Hat :) 
  
Solution:  
I created a patch, I'll attach it to this ticket, that solves the problem.
