This dependency isn't needed... hmm...
For some reason, the configure script created by autoconf always
looks for -lelf and, if it can find it, adds it to the list of
searched libraries.
First, why does my autoconf - generated configure search for -lelf and
then always adds it? IMHO, this is a bug in autoconf; I never asked it
to do that.
Second, this is a bug in at; I'll uninstall the libelf binary from
the system I compile at on, so this doesn't happen again. That will
be fixed in the next release, although it's far from being a critical
bug :-)

In principle, you're right :-)
