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."

Debugging program which runs a specified command until it exits.
While the command is executing, ltrace intercepts and records
the dynamic library calls which are called by the executed
process and the signals received by that process.
