No?
Those are tests. They are too small to gain from elfhack, but are still important to be elfhacked since the goal is to verify that elfhack doesn't break them. So elfhacking them uses a special flag that forces elfhack to do its job even if the result is smaller. You need to look at elfhack output during make package, not before.
