... but then it also prints:

checking for elf_begin in -lelf... yes
checking for elf_getshdrstrndx in -lelf... yes
checking for elf_getshdrnum in -lelf... yes
checking libelf.h usability... yes
checking libelf.h presence... yes
checking for libelf.h... yes

As far as I can see from configure.ac, libelf support works if *either*
the pkg-config check for libelf.pc passes, *or* the old-style checks for
symbols and headers pass.

Prior to 2.43.2-1 we used libelfg0-dev from src:libelf, which has
libelf.pc; now we use libelf-dev from src:elfutils, which doesn't. See
also .

Bug#784236: Build-Depends on libelf-dev, but libelf support no longer enabled

[Michael Biebl]

Source: glib2.0
Version: 2.44.0-2
Severity: normal

Since the update to 2.44.0, libelf support is no longer enabled.
Checking the build logs at [1], the configure check prints:

checking for LIBELF... no

The package still has a Build-Depends on libelf-dev. So it looks like an
unintended change which was overlooked and needs further investigation,
why the configure check fails.
