No, you don't, you need to *clean* elfutils, sstate is just fine.

I suspect the issue is that there is some patch to the source code and
then further modifications happen at do_configure/do_compile time. If we
try and rerun do_patch (due to the patch.bbclass change recently), it
can no longer unapply the patch and things fail.
