I think the cause is 'ld' installed by elfutils-0.125.
elfutils-0.125 installs 'ld' into /usr/local/bin/ with the library files.
For installing only necessary files, could you please try follows ?

- Uninstall elfutils-0.125
  # cd elfutils-0.125
  # make uninstall
  #

- Make elfutils-0.125, and install only the library files.
  # make clean
  # ./configure
  # make
  #
  # mkdir /usr/local/include/elfutils/
  # cp ./libdw/libdw.h   /usr/local/include/elfutils/libdw.h
  # cp ./libdw/dwarf.h   /usr/local/include/dwarf.h
  # cp ./libelf/libelf.h /usr/local/include/libelf.h
  # cp ./libelf/gelf.h   /usr/local/include/gelf.h
  #
  # cp ./libelf/libelf.a /usr/local/lib/libelf.a
  # cp ./libdw/libdw.a   /usr/local/lib/libdw.a
  # cp ./libasm/libasm.a /usr/local/lib/libasm.a
  # cp ./libebl/libebl.a /usr/local/lib/libebl.a
  #

If there are not any problems, I will add the above method to README file.
