does this target depend on anything in src/chrome? i wonder if chrome_elf should
be its own top-level entity (in src/) rather than in src/chrome. what else might
be in here?

I was wondering this too. I've moved it up a level.

Thinking about this a bit more, I believe there is some redundancy here. Instead
of a 'rules' section, could this be accomplished by moving the 'action' up to an
'actions' section as with e.g.
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/ui/ozone/ozone.gyp...

Done.
