Commit 69fed534a533 ("change how Config is used in Makefile's") moved
HAVE_MNL specific CFLAGS/LDLIBS for building with libmnl out of the
top level Makefile into sub-Makefiles. However, it also removed the
HAVE_ELF specific CFLAGS/LDLIBS entirely, which breaks the BPF object
loader for tc and ip with "No ELF library support compiled in." despite
having libelf detected in configure script. Fix it similarly as in
69fed534a533 for HAVE_ELF.

Thanks, but I am thinking maybe a better solution long term would be to
move all the package specific stuff into the generated Config file.

That way only the generation shell script would have to change.

Also, all the flags should probably be using pkg-config to get the values.

Sure, sounds all good, for the time being, I would like to have
that breakage undone though, so users can work with loading BPF
programs again on -master.

Thanks,
Daniel

Agree. I will merge this for master, and work on better config management
in net-next.
