-Subject: [PATCH] fix err variable and function conflicts
-
-There comes below build failure with musl when
-ptest enabled.
-| In file included from ../../elfutils-0.176/tests/dwfl-proc-attach.c:33:
-| ../../elfutils-0.176/lib/system.h:63:35: error: called object 'err' is not a function or function pointer
-|  #define error(status, errno, ...) err(status, __VA_ARGS__)
-|                                    ^~~
-| ../../elfutils-0.176/tests/dwfl-proc-attach.c:92:5: note: in expansion of macro 'error'
-|      error (-1, 0, "dwfl_linux_proc_attach pid %d: %s", pid,
-|      ^~~~~
-| ../../elfutils-0.176/tests/dwfl-proc-attach.c:79:7: note: declared here
-|    int err;
-|        ^~~
-
-It is because there is no error.h in musl and
-the patch 0008-build-Provide-alternatives-for-glibc-assumptions-hel.patch
-has updated to use err.h to replace error.h
-and also added macro definiton as below when
-use musl.
- #define error(status, errno, ...) err(status, __VA_ARGS__)
-
-And in err.h, there is below logic:
-_Noreturn void err(int, const char *, ...);
-
-But when ptest enabled, there comes below error
-as there is both variable and function defined
-to be err in tests/dwfl-proc-attach.c.
-So change the err variable's name to workaround
-the build failure with musl.
-
-Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [workaround in musl]
