That is because your glibc is old and elf.h doesn't contain the new
definitions. That has been fixed by:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/commit/?id=344ca0775da729e1bfdd61bb88ba4c64befece07
Which should also be included in the debian/ubuntu package sources.

It should also be in 0.166 to be released later this week.

Cheers,
