This sound suspiciously like a problem that I ran across with a NCSU
student when trying to setup systemtap on his machine last week. The
executables in /usr/local/bin (ld etc.) do not work with the default gcc
compiler. I would suggest removing those newly installed elfutils in
/usr/local/bin. And using the configure method that Eugene Teo mentioned:
Actually, all you have to do is to download the latest elfutils
snapshot, patch it with elfutils-portability patch, and then point
--with-elfutils to the elfutils-NNNN directory.
