Subject: [PATCH v2] elflint: fix undefined 'buffer_left' reference
Date: Mon,  7 Jun 2021 22:37:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210607213742.2902147-1-slyfox@gentoo.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210606233831.GB17371@altlinux.org>

Link failure is reproducible on gcc-11.1.0 target:

```
$ autoreconf -i -f
$ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-debuginfod \
    --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu \
    CFLAGS=-march=znver3 \
    CXXFLAGS=-march=znver3 \
    LDFLAGS=" "
$ make

  CCLD     elflint
ld: elflint.o: in function `check_attributes':
elflint.c:(.text+0xdcff): undefined reference to `buffer_left'
ld: elflint.c:(.text+0xe557): undefined reference to `buffer_left'
```

It happens due to possible external linkage of `buffer_left()`.

The change forces local linkkage to always use local definition
(either inline or out-of-line).

Fixes: e95d1fbb ("elflint: Pull left() in file scope")
---
Change since v1 suggested by Dmitry:
- fixed changelog to spell 'static' correctly :)
- added 'Fixes' annotation

Did not drop 'inline' to be consistent with other tiny helpers
in the same file.
