Yep, initial release 2013.

Ah, ok.

I tried elfutils-latest.tar.bz2 instead, and ran into the use of aligned_alloc,
which is supported starting glibc v2.16, while debian 7 has glibc v2.13.

Ah, I see indeed at https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ that mips is missing:
...
Included backends for machine specific ELF handling:
aarch64 alpha arm bpf i386 ia64 m68k ppc ppc64 s390 s390x sh sparc sparc64
tilegx x32 x86_64
