Mark,
I use the following configuration to compile SystemTap on my system.
The systemtap repository resides in work/repository/systemtap. A copy of elfutils-0.165 is in work/repository/elfutils-0.165.
cd work/repository/systemtap-i686-linux-gnu
../systemtap/configure \
--prefix=/opt/tooling/adit/systemtap \
--with-elfutils=/home/polle/work/repository/elfutils-0.165 \
--enable-docs=no
make install
Eventually, I get the following output:
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/polle/work/repository/systemtap-i686-linux-gnu'
CXX stap-main.o
In file included from include-elfutils/gelf.h:32:0,
from include-elfutils/elfutils/libdw.h:32,
from ../systemtap/elaborate.h:25,
from ../systemtap/main.cxx:14:
include-elfutils/libelf.h:280:8: error: ‘Elf32_Chdr’ does not name a type
include-elfutils/libelf.h:281:8: error: ‘Elf64_Chdr’ does not name a type
It seems that include-elfutils/libelf.h tries to pull in elf.h but fails to include the one from elfutils-0.165. Instead my copy in /usr/include is included, which stems from an older version of elfutils. I can fix the problem by copying work/repository/elfutils-0.165/libelf/elf.h to work/repository/systemtap-i686-linux-gnu/include-elfutils.
Kind Regards,
Torsten

That probably works, but better to use this patch:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/elfutils.git/commit/?id=344ca0775da729e1bfdd61bb88ba4c64befece07
That will also be in elfutils 0.166 (probably to be released tomorrow).
Then any old glibc version of elf.h is supported.
Cheers,
Mark
