Something went wrong with the build.  I have not seen that problem 
before even in CVS.   You should look at this file:

/tools/cmake/cmake-2.6.2/Bootstrap.cmk/cmake_bootstrap.log

The problem is that cmSystemTools.cxx should not be using cmELF.cxx 
during bootstrap.   That symbol should only be required if 
CMAKE_USE_ELF_PARSER is defined, which it should not be during 
bootstrap.  One thing you could try is to figure out the command line 
used to compile cmSystemTools.cxx during bootstrap, and then change it 
to use g++ -E and look at the pre-processed file.  It should not have 
the elf stuff used.

#if defined(CMAKE_USE_ELF_PARSER)
# include "cmELF.h"
#endif
