+ help
+ Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as
+ CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC) require building a host program that
+ needs libelf. Enabling this option will ensure host-elfutils
+ (which provides libelf) gets built before the Linux kernel.
+
+ Enable this option if you get a Linux kernel build failure
+ such as "Cannot generate ORC metadata for
+ CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev,
+ libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel".
