Actually elfutils should be used rather than libelf.

ppc64, please mark a version of dev-libs/elfutils stable so that it can be added to ethereal's deps.
Comment 2 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-17 09:08:44 UTC 
elfutils stable on ppc64
Comment 3 Aaron Walker (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-17 15:55:52 UTC 
Fixed.
