Vicente Olivert Riera 9406d4dc02 elfutils: disable for static builds
Even when doing static builds, a shared library is built. This causes a
build failure under some circumstances, for instance when building for
MIPS + uClibc + static.

After asking upstream if it would be possible to add a configure option
to not build the shared library, the answer was that doing a static
build is not a good idea. Here is a small snippet of the conversation:

"Note that fully static builds are problematic.  elfutils uses dlopen to
open the EBL backends (the CPU-specific support snippets), so even if
you link statically, the final binaries are still considerably dynamic."

Kexec is a user space utiltity for loading another kernel
and asking the currently running kernel to do something with it.
This package is a tiny implementation of the kexec userspace
components, for devicetree-based platforms.
