The reason that I ask the question(s) is that after I build
elfutils-0.128 and then do 'make install', I can no longer
build a kernel, i.e., kernel 'make' has errors, like:

  CC      init/main.o
  CC      init/do_mounts.o
  CC      init/do_mounts_rd.o
  AS      usr/initramfs_data.o
  LD      usr/built-in.o

make[1]: *** [usr/built-in.o] Error 1

on x86_64.
