The build process is looking for libelf.so,  not libelf.so.1
The .so file is part of the elfutils-devel RPM, which is required for
*building* applications that use this library.
The .so.1 file is provided for *running* applications that have already
been compiled.

Please see the FAQ entry:
   The compilation is complaining about missing libraries. Why?
