Sorry, the ticket just links to the nvidia-docker project without much further explanation. The information at the link below should make it a bit more clear:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/NVIDIA-driver. The crux of the issue is that we need to be able consolidate all of the Nvidia binaries/libraries into a single volume that we inject into a docker container. We use libelf is used to get the canonical names of all the Nvidia libraries (i.e. SONAME in their dynamic sections) as well as lookup what external dependences they have (i.e. NEEDED in their dynamic sections) in order to build this volume. NOTE: None of this volume support is actually in Mesos yet -- we just added the libelf dependence in anticipation of it.
