Bug#970142: automake-1.16 autopkgtest regression: vala-mix2 test fails with gcc 10
Source: automake-1.16
Version: 1:1.16.2-3
Severity: serious
Justification: https://release.debian.org/bullseye/rc_policy.txt §6a
Tags: patch fixed-upstream
Forwarded: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=41726

automake-1.16's vala-mix2 test fails with gcc 10, which defaults to
the equivalent of -fno-common:
> c++ -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.7c5p77t1/downtmp/build.ezs/src=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -o zardoz zardoz.o bar.o baz.o master.o -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
> /usr/bin/ld: baz.o:./t/vala-mix2.dir/foo.h:1: multiple definition of `foo'; bar.o:./t/vala-mix2.dir/foo.h:1: first defined here
Upstream patch (as applied in Ubuntu already):
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/commit/?id=74b9f0bbad27ae1b6ecfca7fb072cbad85a98a6b
or see attached.
It would probably also make sense to run the tests at build-time, now
that they're run as an autopkgtest that is also RC if it regresses.
Or if you think they're still too unreliable for failures to be RC,
please mark the autopkgtest as "Restrictions: flaky".
Thanks,
smcv

Subject: tests: support -fno-common in vala-mix2 test.
This change fixes https://bugs.gnu.org/41726.
* t/vala-mix2.sh: extern in .h, initialization in .c.
GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common.
