Actually, I've discovered this is the issue. configure can't really handle
the OS have libelf as well as ups. Although it's intending to build with
the internal verson, it actually compiles libdwarf and/or ups with the
system headers and uses the internal one for the other. In some important
respects these are quite incompatible:

FreeBSD				internal version
=======				================
typedef enum {			typedef enum {
	ELF_C_NULL = 0,			ELF_C_NULL = 0,
        ELF_C_CLR,			ELF_C_READ,
        ELF_C_FDDONE,			ELF_C_WRITE,
        ELF_C_FDREAD,			ELF_C_CLR,
        ELF_C_RDWR,			ELF_C_SET,
        ELF_C_READ,			ELF_C_FDDONE,
        ELF_C_SET,			ELF_C_FDREAD,
        ELF_C_WRITE,			ELF_C_RDWR,
        ELF_C_NUM			ELF_C_NUM
} Elf_Cmd;			} Elf_Cmd;

So I now need to decide whether to hack ups to use the system libdwarf/libelf
entirely, hack ups and it's internal libdwarf to use the system libelf
consistently, or hack it to use all the internal versions consistently.
