> Yeah, the issue was just that -lelf wasn't getting added to the linker flags since I didn't have pkg-config in the hostmakedepends.  

i was curious how a link could succeed if you didn't have a valid link line- then realised linkers by default don't fail on missing symbols without passing `-z now`. that makes it fail instantly if the output is invalid and can't resolve symbols, i guess not everyone has it in the LDFLAGS as `-Wl,-z,now` all the time..

gets me every time too :)
