You need the libelf rpm.  I don't run an RPM based system myself, but my
Debian x86 and ppc boxes have the ELF manipulation libraries in libelfg0-dev.
My current version 0.70 and rpmfind shows some older 0.6.4 packages out
there for your disty.

/usr/include/elf.h is indeed part of the upstream glibc package but the
ELF manipulation library is a separate entity.

Hope this helps,
