This is true -- I was only trying to make it work with the system elfutils libraries.  The Ubuntu source package has a patch to hardcode the configure script in this way, and I just wanted to make that unnecessary.  Plus, now I can test git-HEAD on my Ubuntu machines in addition to Fedora.

I suppose someone might want to do this.  If there's a option I can pass along to the elfutils configure script for static libdw, then that's easy enough, but I don't know what that option would be.
