complibs/libelf: use host compiler

It appears, that the configure scripts of libelf versions 0.8.13 and
0.8.12 do not honour the --host option. The compiler must be given as an
environment variable or the process will use the command "gcc" as the
compiler.

It seems that this is already done in the function do_libelf_target in
scripts/build/companion_libs/libelf.sh, but not in function do_libelf.

    22 If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file.

    24 Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically
