Add a --{enable,disable}-progs configure option Add a --{enable,disable}-progs configuration option to elfutils. This allows to selectively disable the compilation of the elfutils programs (in which case only the libraries are built and installed). This is useful because the programs are often not needed, and also because building the programs against uClibc causes several issues (lack of obstack_printf() in uClibc for example). Based on the former patch by Thomas Petazzoni.
