To overcome the issue, I installed pax-utils in my host Linux system. 
But I admit now that it was not really necessary:
In fact OE already provides the pax-utils-native package, automatically 
built by OE if insane.bbclass is included (angstrom actually includes 
insane.bbclass).
Maybe is there a missing dependency that would force bitbake to build 
pax-utils-native prior to any task that require scanelf (?)

Any thought from bitbake/oe hackers ?
