Thanks for the heads-up. It's good that somebody tests with a separate /usr partition! We can avoid linking by temporarily moving libelf.pc to another file. But I do not know what functionality would be lost in the process. Otherwise, I think we could just add --libdir=/lib to configure in libelf (and still install the .pc file to /usr/lib, and of course remove /lib/libelf.a).
