Weird... I tried that and I get this:

jason@...rdose [~/vuln] (104) % gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer elflbl.c -o 
elflbl
elflbl.c:89: error: variable-size type declared outside of any function
elflbl.c: In function `make_lib':
elflbl.c:664: error: storage size of 'eh' isn't known
elflbl.c:665: error: storage size of 'eph' isn't known
elflbl.c:666: error: storage size of 'tmpbuf' isn't constant
elflbl.c:680: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to incomplete type 
`elf_phdr'
elflbl.c:666: error: size of variable 'tmpbuf' is too large
