>Description:
elf_version (3) says:

EXAMPLES
     An application program would inform the ELF library about its desired
     operating version and check for an error using the following code
     snippet:

           if (elf_version(EV_CURRENT) == EV_NONE)
                   err(EXIT_FAILURE, "ELF library too old");

ERRORS
     Function elf_version() may fail with the following error:

     [ELF_E_VERSION]   An unsupported library version number was requested.


I think it should be:
           if (elf_version(EV_CURRENT) == EV_NONE)
                   errx(EXIT_FAILURE, "ELF library too old: %s", elf_errmsg(elf_errno())));
