Your original patch did not work for me (libelf missing zstd symbols).
But with the patch I sent applied, it builds correctly.

What is the error you're getting with `-lzstd`? My guess is that your
distro's libelf.a has zstd symbols statically linked in already. Perhaps
check what pkg-config says about your libelf? Mine is:

```
$ pkg-config --static --libs libelf
-lelf -lz -lzstd
```

Also, perhaps the build should be using pkg-config instead of hardcoding
deps in LDLIBS. That might make the static build more reliable across
different systems.

Thanks,
Daniel
