I'm not an expert in autotools. The reason I also have "else" case in my
code is that I want to do "+=" in the USE_GNULIB case below. That only
works if system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS is defined, which curiously it
is not if you don't explicitly set it before (even though it is
implicitly there somehow ... ?!?).
In particular I get the following error from autoconf if I naively merge
your patch:
> Ulf@Ulf-PC MINGW64 /d/elfutils$ autoreconf -fi
> tests/Makefile.am:617: error: cannot apply '+=' because 'system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS' is not defined in
> tests/Makefile.am:617: the following conditions:

> tests/Makefile.am:617: either define 'system_elf_libelf_test_CPPFLAGS' in these conditions, or use

As this only applies to my code, you are of course free to apply your
version upstream. It probably makes no difference if the USE_GNULIB case
isn't there. I will adapt my code then.
best,
Ulf
