Yesterday I built LFS-9.1 (sysvinit not systemd) with /usr

is because ip (from iproute2) links to libelf which is in
/usr/lib. Localnet is run before mounting /usr which means
that libelf is unavailable. My quick and easy solution was
to move libelf* from /usr/lib to /lib.

I've just looked at the latest SVN 2020-07-06 and libelf
is still before iproute2 so the above would still happen.
I don't see any configure option in iproute2 to stop the
link to libelf so one solution would be to change the
instructions for installing libelf. If there's a better
way, feel free to use it.

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).

I don't think we need to do anything with libelf.pc.  Just finish with

mv -v /usr/lib/libelf-0.180.so libelf.so.1 /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libelf.so) /usr/lib/libelf.so
