Contrary to my recollections and fears, this seems to have worked.
I've verified that the ELF64_R_ macros defined in elf/elf.h were not
used by building glibc for mips64-linux-gnu after adding syntax errors
to the unwanted definitions, and it still built correctly, so it
appears that the files that include only elf.h do not need these
macros.  I'm still concerned that there is a possibility of errors
being silently introduced by this arrangement, but even my attempt to
avoid taking risks and adding an explicit include of ldsodefs.h
everywhere elf.h was included failed: a number of files just can't
include ldsodefs.h, and I fear some of them may be installed, so I
gave it up.  I still think some of this code belongs in generic code,
but I'm leaving it at this for now.  Ok to install?
