Hi James, A newer version should be OK. We only use a small subset of the functions from libelf, and I believe they should all be backwards compatible. If it becomes an issue, we could consider building our own elf parser for the small subset of functionality that we need or bundling a specific version of libelf with mesos itself. Let us know if you run into any issues.
