Build elfutils on AMD Opteron X86_64 problems.

Hello all:

We're running RH AS on an AMD Opteron X86_64 system and I'm trying out the
SystemTap tool. When I tried the example top.stp script I got the 
following error:

semantic error: libdwfl failure (dwfl_linux_kernel_report_kernel): No 
such file or directory
         while: resolving probe point kernel.function("sys_*")

So, I down loaded the elfutils tarball and the patch, configured and 
make. I got the following
error:

gcc -Wall -Wshadow -std=gnu99  -Werror -Wunused -Wextra -Wformat=2 -g 
-O2 -Wl,-rpath-link,../libelf:../libdw  -o elflint  elflint.o 
../libebl/libebl.a ../libelf/libelf.so ../lib/libeu.a  -ldl
./ld: unrecognized option `--eh-frame-hdr'
Try `ld --help' or `ld --usage' for more information.
collect2: ld returned 64 exit status
make[2]: *** [elflint] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dpitts/tmp/elfutils-0.120/src'

Do I need to do something special for this arch? The kernel version is 
2.6.9-34 and the gcc
version is 3.4.5. The Kprobes option is on in the kernel build.

Thanks......
