Oh, it's because dev-libs/elfutils-0.169-r1[static-libs] does not install
static libelf.a library. It should.

It's caused by ebuild bug in 168->169 transition.
    use static-libs || sed -i -e '/^lib_LIBRARIES/s:=.*:=:' -e '/^%.os/s:%.o$::' lib{asm,dw,elf}/Makefile.in
was converted to
    if use static-libs; then
        sed -i -e '/^lib_LIBRARIES/s:=.*:=:' -e '/^%.os/s:%.o$::' lib{asm,dw,elf}/Makefile.in || die
    fi

Fixed as:

Could we also fix this for the stable version of elfutils? 
Either make a new stable dev-libs/elfutils-0.169-r2 with those patches or stabilize the existing dev-libs/elfutils-0.170-r1

This is still broken in stable (just hit when rebuilding world after profiles 17.0 switch)

ppc:

2 tests fail, but this is an improvement over previous stable 0.169-r1 (4 tests fail). See bug #619706
