Description

ELFIO is a header-only replacement for parsing ELF binaries. Previously we were using libelf, which introduced both a new build-time dependency as well as a runtime dependence even though we only really needed this library when operating on machines that have GPUs.

By using this header-only library and bundling it with Mesos, we can remove this external dependence altogether.
