The new AFL++ (American Fuzzy Lop, a fuzzing tool) in Rawhide appears
to be building a GCC plugin, contained in one or all of these newly
added files:

  %global afl_helper_path %{_libdir}/afl
  %{_bindir}/afl-gcc-fast
  %{_bindir}/afl-g++-fast
  %{afl_helper_path}/afl-gcc-cmplog-pass.so
  %{afl_helper_path}/afl-gcc-cmptrs-pass.so
  %{afl_helper_path}/afl-gcc-pass.so
  %{afl_helper_path}/afl-gcc-rt.o
  %{afl_helper_path}/injection-pass.so

I'm going to guess this will introduce a dependency on the exact
version of GCC (major only? or major.minor? not sure).  Just like
annobin.  Which might require that this package is rebuilt when GCC is
rebuilt (only major? or all rebuilds? again, don't know).

If this proves to be a problem then I can drop the GCC plugin usage,
or we could work out a process to deal with rebuilding.

Anyway, let's look out for this and see if it causes trouble, and then
decide what to do.

Rich.
