I am building elfutils >= 0.173 with GCC 8.2.0 on a SLES 12.3 system, and I
encounter the following error in the make check step:

        FAIL: run-ar.sh
        ...

        Makefile:3707: recipe for target 'check-am' failed
        make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2

All advice to resolve will be appreciated.
