| |
x86-64 is the only architecture that can't compile without an extra ELF library installed on the host. (The kernel already has multiple ELF parse implementations built-in, so requiring another one is questionable at best.) You can switch it back on in menuconfig if you want to, this just stops it being mandatory.
