Old libelf.m4 change not committed

Prelink's aclocal.m4 appears to have been generated with a change to
m4/libelf.m4, below, that was never checked in. The consequence of this
is that if you make changes to prelink involving running aclocal to
regenerate aclocal.m4 and autoconf to regenerate configure, this change is
lost and the configure test fails to compile if the compiler has
_FORTIFY_SOURCE enabled, because of the missing argument to open.
If you apply this change, I couldn't fine the auto* versions to regenerate
the other checked in files exactly; they are autoconf 2.57, automake 1.6.3
and a libtool version that might be somewhere between 1.5 and 1.5.2 or a
patched version of 1.5 (1.5 seemed to generate the nearest version of
aclocal.m4). In any case, it is not necessary to regenerate any files
when checking in this patch, although regenerating the auto* machinery
with more recent versions of libtool, automake and autoconf ("autoreconf
--install --force" should be a reasonable start; it gives some warnings
that should perhaps be fixed) might be a good idea anyway.
Could you check in this patch (with or without any regeneration) if OK?
