I don't like the duplication of the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS dance. Can you
introduce an ELFUTILS_CFLAGS instead ?

Also, for libpcap, -fPIC is needed instead of -fpic for both microblaze
and sparc64. But for elfutils, -fPIC is only needed for sparc64 ? I
just tested a quick build of elfutils on microblaze, and it indeed
works without any change.

Do you have any clue why?

Thanks,

Thomas
