The Linux kernel includes libelf headers with -Wundef and -Werror enabled, resulting in an error when the headers are found through -I as opposed to -isystem.

Fixes #59929

Note that the new code is not 100% equivalent (it has different meaning when the macro is defined to 0), but these macros are either defined to 1 or undefined by a generated header, so it does not matter.
