[Buildroot] issue to build elfutils due to libintl

[Arthur LAMBERT]

Hi,

I have one issue to build the package elfutils. Everything was working fine
and after updating my ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04 I am not able to build
anymore the package with success.

My defconfig is for arm architecture with uclibc.

The error :

>>> elfutils 0.174 Building

The issue was present with 2017.02.2 version of buildroot and I am always able to reproduce the issue with 2019.02 release.
Is it an error in my defconfig ? is it a real issue ?

In my opinion the issue is due to the update of my gcc version during the ubuntu upgrade. I am able to
compile elfutils on my archlinux with gcc 5.4.0. I have the issue with gcc 7.3.0 on my ubuntu.

This patch was not supposed to fixed this kind of issues ?
