Compiling makedumpfile from source

[manty kuma]

Thank you.
for example, i am trying to compile: elfutils-0.182 package downloaded
from https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.182/
After successfully configuring it, make fails with following error.

----------------------------------------
Making all in libdwfl
  CC       zstd.o
In file included from zstd.c:4:0:
gzip.c: In function ‘__libdw_unzstd’:

----------------------------------------

Seems like the configure file is not checking for specific version of
libzstd-dev and it is not compatible with my current libzstd-dev
My current version is as follows:
---
$ apt-show-versions libzstd-dev
libzstd-dev:amd64/stretch 1.1.2-1+deb9u1 uptodate
---

Thank you.

Regards,
Manty
