stringop-overflow is a gcc specific option and when we try to use non-gcc
compiler as host compiler e.g. clang, this causes several configure tests to fail
because clang reports this as an option it does not understand and bails out
error: unknown warning option '-Werror=stringop-overflow'; did you mean '-Werror=shift-overflow'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
One of the failing tests is the check for PIC support in compiler and results
in errors during compilation like
/usr/bin/ld: libelf_pic.a(elf_error.os): relocation R_X86_64_TPOFF32 against `global_error' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
and elfutils-native failing to build with clang as host compiler
This patch was added to support version of fedora in 2022 and the error
has since been addressed in glibc [1]
This is effectively reverting bb76fe2baf00b0874d221445c9fba4481740024f

musl's thread startup/teardown sequences and frame-pointer handling
differ from glibc. elfutils can fail to terminate unwinds properly
in multithreaded musl apps which leads to truncated or bogus traces
and then the test's "must contain main" assertion fails.
Skip this test on musl systems

Elfutils tests do not all run cleanly on musl systems. Make the current set
as baseline by making the failing tests as XFAILS. This helps to not regress
further more.

elfuitls testsuites do not pass on all kind of distro features e.g.
with musl there are failures and with ld-is-lld less numer but it shows
failures too. Make run-ptest treat these as known failures.

ptest.patch
Changelog:
Version 0.193 "Bugs erased, stacks traced"
debuginfod: Add CORS (webapp access) support to webapi and --cors option.
Add --listen-address option for binding the HTTP listen socket
to a specific IPv4 or IPv6 address.
debuginfod client now caches x-debuginfod-* HTTP headers
alongside downloaded files.
libdw: Add dwarf_language and dwarf_language_lower_bound functions.
Improved support for DWARF6 language metadata as well as DWARF
language constants for Nim, Dylan, Algol68, V and Mojo.
dwarf_srclang is now forward-compatible with DWARF6 language
constants.
libdwfl_stacktrace: Experimental new library interface for unwinding
stack samples into call chains, and tracking and
caching Elf data for multiple processes, building
on libdwfl. Initially supports perf_events stack
sample data.
libelf: elf_scnshndx has been rewritten to be more robust, particularily
for ELF files with more than 64K sections.
readelf: Improved handling of corrupt ELF data.
--section-headers output now includes a "Key to Flags" explaining
section flag meanings.
