We are not going to ship patchelf in RHEL10, and because of that the python-meson-python dependency on patchelf should be removed.

Modification of ELF files post-static-link is not safe nor does it support good secure software mangement life-cycle practices. Build systems should accept flags that allow them to alter the required parameters.

If ELF data is required then libelf should be used to get data like DT_RPATH, alternatively pyelftools (which uses readelf from binutils) is an option.

The python3-meson-python package uses patchelf because it is unable to plumb DT_RPATH into the build systems and this is not an appropriate technical workaround for RHEL.
