Minimal reproducer

abidiff detects a change in the order of enum values whose value is explicitly
set as harmful, even though their values remain the same and no other enum
value is affected by this change.

As far as I know, both ABI and API remains identical in such a case:

$ diff -U5 test-v0/test.h test-v1/test.h 
--- test-v0/test.h      2021-08-13 13:38:16.331805249 +0300
+++ test-v1/test.h      2021-08-13 13:06:09.380240513 +0300
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
 enum values {
-       ENUM_VALUE1 = 1,
        ENUM_VALUE2 = 2,
+       ENUM_VALUE1 = 1,
 };

A minimal reproducer is attached:

$ gcc -g -Wall -shared -Wl,--build-id=none -o libtest-v0.so test-v0/test.c
$ gcc -g -Wall -shared -Wl,--build-id=none -o libtest-v1.so test-v1/test.c
$ abidiff --headers-dir1 test-v0 --headers-dir2 test-v1 libtest-v0.so
libtest-v1.so 
Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 1 Changed, 0 Added function
Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added variable

1 function with some indirect sub-type change:

  [C] 'function int foo(values)' at test.c:3:1 has some indirect sub-type
changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'enum values' has sub-type changes:
      type size hasn't changed
