it seems that the required version of elfutils is 0.158, however this
version of elfutils is not checked when running `./configure` on

  http://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1-rc3/ghc-8.0.0.20160411-src.tar.xz

That is, instead of get an error on configuration time because my
version of elfutils is too old, I get an error on compilation time.
