From its README:
Q: This package is a nightmare to main[t]ain...
A: No, because ELF is standardized and doesn't change every month.
So, yes ;-)

I agree. The earliest that Michael was still build-testing until
recently [1] was CentOS 7, but even that already has elf.h. When reading
the log message for commit e929e0765, it seems to me that the package
was added for the use case when PTXdist is not used on Linux – back then
there were some people who were using it on Cygwin I think – but I guess
nowadays you would just fire up an Ubuntu VM or Docker container or
something.
