The version of posix_fallocate() patched into elfutils
for macOS using code from Mozilla is now patched into gnulib.
Import the fallocate-posix module and always link
the corresponding object to libraries whenever it is built.

Several changes to the elfutils source files
made during the process of figuring out how to
successfully build elfutils on macOS
turn out to not be necessary to do so,
and were most likely leftover bits during testing.
Remove the line changes that are not needed
and add some line changes to adapt to sources as is:
- Remove now unnecessary bump to autoconf version prereq
- AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS is not necessary to define
as ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is already defined in Makefiles
- let libtool "enable_static" variable also decide the value
of the local conditional BUILD_STATIC
- override configure variables instead of removing
checks for libraries or additions to LDFLAGS
- only exclude "hidden" attribute for macOS instead of deleting
- preserve original list of sources to build for libelf
- use openwrt Makefile to add gnulib headers
- use openwrt Makefile to add LIBADD variables
- remove deletion of variables and rules for shared objects
- prefer recursively expanded variables over muliple renames
each time that a word is added to its value
- remove changes to subdirectories that are not built
and remove changes to target files of those subdirectories
- prefer basic text rename over variables in cases where
there would be no line number difference
- give LT_INIT forced default values that match upstream
- move gl_EARLY and gl_INIT down relative to compiler checks
- reorganize some line changes to save some lines

Backport an upstream patch series that adds backend elfutils support for
DWARF relocations in MIPS debug info. This support is needed by pahole to
generate BTF for modules in BTF-enabled kernel builds.
The problem first manifests as pahole warnings during build:
BTF [M] lib/libcrc32c.ko
die__process_unit: DW_TAG_compile_unit (0x11) @ <0x932d> not handled!
die__process_unit: tag not supported 0x11 (compile_unit)!
die__process: got compile_unit unexpected tag after DW_TAG_compile_unit!
die__process_unit: DW_TAG_compile_unit (0x11) @ <0x99a3> not handled!
die__process_unit: tag not supported 0x11 (compile_unit)!
die__process: got compile_unit unexpected tag after DW_TAG_compile_unit!
During system boot the problem then causes module loading failures, which
may result in many other runtime issues:

The compiled library resulting from importing gnulib has been
linked to libelf in order to easily cover other link dependencies.
However, this is not appropriate for linking libelf to other programs
as it bloats the resulting libelf library, and may result in
multiple defintions of symbols based on whether or not
certain modules from gnulib are included while elfutils
already has it's own definition of a function.
This is not a problem while building elfutils, because gnulib has
it's own way of creating function aliases and special declarations
that allow the linker to ignore the original function definitions,
however, when libelf is used to link to something else,
this results in an error at link time.
The gnulib manual recommended linking the libraries directly,
but those who have written it may not have considered how this
can affect the ability to link that library in other builds,
they likely assume the build targets would not be a dependency.
Fix this by removing the linking between gnulib and libelf
and instead overriding Make variables in order to add linking
between gnulib and each of the binaries provided by elfutils,
using Make functions to avoid applying it to other subdirectories.
The function tdestroy() would still be missing on macOS,
but the existence of the gnulib tsearch object having been built
is an indicator of whether or not it is needed
because it is only built conditionally by gnulib,
so include linking that object only when it exists.
Block the unnecessary replacement of some functions by gnulib
so that future linking with libelf doesn't require
the associated gnulib "rpl" prefixed functions.
These replacements are very strict in order to correct
minor bugs that don't have a real impact in almost all cases
or new standards requirements that are not yet in effect or used.

Install binaries that are not common with binutils
instead of none at all. This adds a negligible time to the build.
Building shared libraries is disabled, so the AM_LDFLAGS can be reset
without the rpath-link option which is unrecognized by clang.
Some of the binaries depend on functions that are defined
using a "strong alias" instead of a normal definition,
but this is disabled by our patches in order to work on macOS,
so use the identical function directly instead.
Add fnmatch from gnulib with GNU extensions
which is needed for usage of the FNM_EXTMATCH flag.
Handle a "Wunused-const-variable" error with the same
preprocessor conditional used to include the function
that the variable is used in.

In the 0.191 update dirname was used instead of <libgen.h> to fix the
poisoned basename error:
/usr/include/libgen.h:35:9: error: attempt to use poisoned "basename"
35 | #define basename __xpg_basename
However, doing this has lead to libelf.a pulling in xmalloc, xstrdup and
friends and statically linking them thus leading to a symbol name conflict
with FRR host build and anything else that links against libelf and uses
xmalloc and friends.
Well, it turns out that upstream has added a helper[1] for basename so it
can compile with musl 1.2.5 which dropped the basename declaration, but it
also means that we must NOT include <libgen.h> and that poisoned error is
intentional and added to prevent duplicate basename definitions.
This also means that for macOS we dont need to do any additional header
inclusions as the new helper takes care of basename.
So, to fix the symbol conflict we can simply drop the <dirname.h> inclusion
and build from elfutils.
Tested on Fedora 40 as well as macOS 14.4.1.

Quilt refresh combined two sets of changes to the same file.
The switch from using libgen.h to dirname.h because of function poisoning
from gnulib's import of basename() was added as a new patch hunk instead
of an edit to the original one.
The original patch hunk was to fix build errors on an earlier version of
elfutils before the "dirname" module was being imported to fix further
build errors with the 0.191 version.

A false tdestroy() function was added in order to make elfutils build on
macOS again. A previous commit added declarations for a real version of
tdestroy() into gnulib, which is already imported, as well as the
preprocessor flags and the triggers for the Makefile.am conditional in
order to include the source to be built.

Instead of editing the SUBDIRS variable with a patch, it can be overriden
at the end of the command line when invoking Make.
This tool has a series of recursive Makefiles in each subdirectory,
therefore SUBDIRS is set to a pattern of Make functions so that the result
is variable depending on the current subdirectory that Make is being
invoked in.
It's not necessary to have gnulib-cache.m4 in EXTRA_DIST since we don't
need to re-import after packaging this in the SDK, so get rid of the
entire patch hunk for ./Makefile.am
