Now that libelf from elfutils is in the development version of LFS, I
think we no-longer need elfutils in BLFS ? Originally it was added
for Mesa and I see that we recommend it for the radeonsi driver
there. I say "I think" because my current build (with gcc-7.3.0)
seems to have successfully built the mesa radeonsi lib, but that
machine uses plain old radeon so I can't use the radeonsi stuff.
Other users are glib2 (it found it) and systemd (in LFS that comes
after libelf).
As with python3, libffi, etc this may cause transitional pain for
people building on less-current versions of LFS (I think libelf was
added in the past month), so I propose that IF we do this, we do it
after the freeze for 8.2 and explain it in the ChangeLog.
Unless somebody has a reason why full elfutils should remain in
BLFS, of course. ...
