Comment:

 [ticket:14540 "-devel" does not have the same meaning in MacPorts] as in
 other package management systems.

 From what I can determine, elfutils is "a collection of libraries and
 utilities for working with ELF object files and DWARF debugging
 information." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWARF DWARF] does seem to
 exist on OS X. The
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_and_Linkable_Format ELF file
 format] is used on many operating systems, but not on OS X, which uses
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach-O Mach-O] instead. As such, I don't
 know whether elfutils is useful on OS X or whether it can even compile on
 OS X. But, if it can and it is, of course a Portfile would be welcome.
