This has been discussed recently.  Here's how I answered it the other day:

In other words, download and install
   http://www.gnu.org/directory/libs/misc/libelf.html
which will I think provide <gelf.h>;
you can then make an elf.h that just does
   #include <gelf.h>
and you should be good to go.  (I haven't tried it myself.)
