Compilation error on Ubuntu: libelf or zstd not correct?

Hi!

I am trying to compile this in a VM running Ubuntu

6.8.0-41-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Aug  2 20:41:06 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS"

When running make, I get the following error message:

cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [Makefile:79: nysm] Error 1

I have tried to search for error sources with libelf/libz but have not managed to fix this error. Is it reproducible or has the libraries changed so it is not compatible with the code any longer?
