dev-libs/elfutils-0.118 fails to install due to many undefined references. The output from the emerge indicates that libdw.so requires libelf.so.1 which wasn't created and therefor everything that libdw.so references gets screwed up. Also, this blocks me from using prelink, btw. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge elfutils 2. 3.

Note that this was on a newly installed system with no pre-existing install of elfutils. I was able to install version 0.108-r1 without any problems and after installing that previous version, version 0.118 was able to be installed. It appears that the problem is that the part of the install for 0.118 requires the library that is only created after a full install is completed.
