x11/libwacom: work around lld 13 no longer supporting symver tricks
Though x11/libwacom was not yet built during the exp-run for clang/llvm 13 (see bug 258209), due to some other dependencies not being available yet, I noticed that it failed to build with clang 13, or more specifically this is due to a behavior change in lld 13: ...

But instead, it calls a empty stub which returns NULL, resulting in this segfault. The empty stub was added as a rather nasty upstream hack to "Alias the accidentally exposed ABI into different functions", in linuxwacom/libwacom@b9961db: > A special "trick" is used here to hide the ABI from new versions: > Usually when defining multiple versioned symbols, one would define one as the > default one with @@ > .symver _foo1,foo@VERSION1 > .symver _foo2,foo@@version2 <-- default one > By leaving out the default one, ld doesn't know which one to link to and > fails with an unresolved symbol. rtld however can still figure it out, so > anything compiled will continue to work. This way we can make a symbol > disappear from the library for new builds but have old builds continue to > work with the new version. Unfortunately this trick/hack does not work anymore with lld 13, since llvm/llvm-project@66d44304921, ("[ELF] Combine foo@v1 and foo with the same versionId if both are defined "). The idea behind the hack is to have the linker call the 'real' libwacom_match_new function whenever it is called from inside the library itself, but any external callers get the stubbed version which doesn't really do anything. I think libwacom should have used a different approach here, but just renaming those accidentally exposed internal functions to something different. Then the tricks with .symver are completely unnecessary. Here I added a patch that is as simple as possible, which adds #defines for two affected functions in libwacomint.h, renaming then from 'libwacom_xxx' to 'libwacom_internal_xxx'. This does not affect the corresponding exposed functions in the libwacom.so, and makes the 'generate-hwdb' command work OK again. I also ran the complete libwacom test suite, including the deprecated functions test, and it works fine. PR: 258463 Approved by: zeising (maintainer) MFH: 2021Q4
