hmm, it seems i've written & sent this patch before, and it's been merged into
the portability patchset already (although it's rotted and needs updating).
so i'll update that branch.
i certainly agree with using -Werror in builds out of git, but imnsho elfutils
is still being unreasonably unrealistic when it comes to releases. no distro
ships elfutils w/out the portability/robustify patches applied which means no
one in the world is testing the tarballs that the project is releasing. it's
ridiculous that both patches continue to exist as separate branches.
but it seems that i'm the only one of this opinion, so the status quo isn't
going to change.
