Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH V3 0/4] Use only elfutils package to provide the libelf library

Hi,

The libelf is currently provided by 2 packages libelf and elfutils. The first package provides an old version of the libelf which is no more compatible with a recent version of ltrace. Having both libraries could lead to the link on the wrong one during the build. It is what happened for ltrace.

To avoid this kind of issue, this patch set switch the dependency from libelf to elfutils and finally removed the libelf package.

I built and fully tested ltrace on ARM.
I built and just ran avrdude on ARM.
I didn't build kexec-lite.

Thanks,

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- Propagated the dependencies from elfutils for kexec-lite and avrdude
- Fixed the subject of the avrdude patch
- Use the -D flag to generate the patch: only the mention of the deleted files is kept. This allows to have a very light patch but one will be able to apply the patch only by using git.

v2 -> v3:
- moved the config option of the libelf package to Config.in.legacy
