Thank you Roland and Frank,

I have successfully make elfutils, but the "ld" still give me problem
when I tried to compile ANYTHING (for example, linux kernel, or
systemtap too) - in particular here is "make oldconfig":

  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o

file: No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/conf] Error 1
make: *** [oldconfig] Error 2

If I remove all the generated binaries (from elfutils compilation) in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib all compilation will succeed as
normal.
