Correct. The condition will always be false when building with poudriere 
but for those building the port by hand, and have manually installed 
devel/elfutils prior to building and installing manually the condition will 
then be true.

Much committers' dismay some users don't use binary packages, you and I as 
committers prefer people use binary packages. But unfortunately this is not 
always the case. The PR was submitted by a person who builds his ports by 
hand.
