Summary:                    Error during compilation of readelf in uClibc using
buildroot on cygwin host
Description: 
Hello, I am using buildroot under cygwin and I get an error during the
compilation of readelf in uclibc about conflicting elf defines:

gcc ../utils/readelf.c -o ../utils/readelf.host -Wl,-s -O2 -Wall -include
../include/elf.h
In file included from /usr/include/elf.h:18,
                 from ../utils/readelf.c:41:
/usr/include/sys/elf32.h:38: error: conflicting types for 'Elf32_Addr'
./../include/elf.h:48: error: previous declaration of 'Elf32_Addr' was
here

./../include/elf.h:52: error: previous declaration of 'Elf32_Off' was

   ...

`list_needed_libraries'
make[1]: *** [../utils/readelf.host] Error 1
make: *** [/usr/src/buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/lib/libc.a]
Error 2

In addition, running make after this error doesn't retry to build
readelf.
Attached is my buildroot configuration.

Ignore my previous message, the error is still present.

although the real solution is to stop using a craptastic environment like
cygwin, we dont actually need to include elf.h in these files as the
makefile will handle the proper elf.h for us
