elfutils isn't shipped according to https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/elfutils/README.chromium

rmcilroy, is there anything to be done here?

That's right, elfutils isn't shipped AFAIK, in fact I don't think it is used at all any longer. Adding digit@ in case he know's differently. 

If so, I'm going to remove this from Chromium entirely.
I don't know of any use case for elfutils in Chrome these days, so please remove it if you can.
Status: Fixed (was: Unconfirmed)
