Subject: [PATCH core] gnu: patchelf: Build from git sources.

From: [email-masked]
Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2024 14:12:03 +0200

From: Attila Lendvai <[email-masked]>

Rationale: it makes it much easier to build a pending PR by using
`(commit "pull/544/head")` in the origin, or in general to experiment
with different patchelf versions.  It also makes it more resilient
against attacks hidden in release tarballs.

sadly, this leads to endless rebuilds...
