It's complaining about libelf.h but I have that, so I don't know where
it is looking other than /usr/include/libelf.h, which exists.
Maybe the tool isn't setup (ready) for cross-compiling?

Here's the build output for objtool:

<stdin>:1:10: fatal error: libelf.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
