No, 0.142 or later are OK, you don't need to downgrade it.
However, I didn't test the recent versions of elfutils, so please let me
know if you find any problems.

      [PATCH] Update necessary elfutils version.

      For some vmlinux, -g option needs new elfutils(0.142 or later).
      Therefore, this patch updates the version in README file.
