On third thought, after some tests, I've decided to leave elfutils as it is.  Using 
the CFLAGS above does allow the entire package to build and all tests to pass.  The 
CXXFLAGS variable is not used.

However the --disable-static and --disable-debuginfod options seem to be ignored.
Using the entire package installs a lot of packages that are not used in LFS and BLFS 
but could be used for some external packages.  Users that need those packages should 
be able to build the entire package without it being in LFS.
