John Ericson e73d805aa9 libelf: Fix cross compilation
There is an upstream bug where it is assumed that if host != build, host
doesn't support shared libraries. We override that overly conservative
check. See
http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc-cvs/2005-August/019383.html

Also clean up some comments.
