  To: elfutils-devel; +Cc: Mark Wielaard

Make sure that even if the system elf.h doesn't have ELF_COMPRESS_ZSTD
defined it can still be used as constant. Also update libelf.h
documentation and add new feature to NEWS.

    elf_compress takes a compression type that should be either zero to
    decompress or an ELFCOMPRESS algorithm to use for compression.
