 Oh, that's definitely the case. I did a complete build under "truss -f" 
 and the libelf from pkgsrc was used instead of the native one. That gave 
 me the idea to check what happens if I remove devel/libelf. As I use 
 native ld/as and not devel/binutils, I don't really need/want pkgsrc's 
 libelf.
 
 But I don't understand why this a) does not fail on Solaris/i86 and b) 
 fails only with this test. I have built hundreds of other packages after 
 devel/libelf were installed, and of course that version of libelf was 
 used there as well.
