Hi @ollamh
I was able to successfully build the elfutils package by applying the upstream patch to my checked out sources.
You can replicate what I did with the following:
$ cd layers/openembedded-core
$ vrepo start fix-elf-utils-build-failure .
$ git cherry-pick 7a12834052fc622eb22eab2dc77fe717a4263ecf
Hopefully that gets you unblocked while we discuss internally.
