Description

This is old bug 14689: http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14689

I finally managed to resolve this after reading this:
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/hlgHmPOOA2S1Ez3KjzWJ

Main point is: We really shall not force PIC on elfutils, even when building on x86-64. So I added the force parameter to disable_pic and suddenly, I can haz elfutils!

I recommend higly to merge this fix into stable once I committed it.

Btw., I visited this again because the perf tool from the kernel really needs elfutils instead of libelf. I do wonder if we really should keep libelf, as it seems outmoded, generally.

I think if you set stable grimoire (which is already released) for the boogie, then it must be integrated into stable
