Buildroot dependency missing

See original GitHub issue

Hi, To get the build working on Ubuntu 18-04, I had to add: sudo apt-get install libelf-dev

Then it finished but with one error: create: command not found, but I guess just a missing comment

I am currently working on a script to create a fresh chroot for snakeware development, which should help with making sure nothing from the real host bleeds over.

It’s almost done. It just needs testing to make sure everything builds in it. If you are willing to help, I’ll upload it somewhere.
