From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aa915931ac3e53ccf371308e6750da510e3591dd upstream. Fedora binutils has been patched to show "other info" for a symbol at the end of the line. This was done in order to support unmaintained scripts that would break with the extra info. [1] [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/binutils/c/b8265c46f7ddae23a792ee8306fbaaeacba83bf8 This in turn has been done to fix the build of ruby, because of checksec. [2] Thanks Michael Ellerman for the pointer. [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1479302 As libbpf Makefile is not unmaintained, we can simply deal with either output format, by just removing the "other info" field, as it always comes inside brackets.
