[morty][PATCH] elfutils: fix building elfutils-native with GCC7

[Cody P Schafer <dev@codyps.com>]

This is heavily based on the oe-core master commit with the same
subject, but includes a backport of upstream's fix for the fallthrough
warnings rebased to 0.166 (the oe-core patch which targeted 0.168 did
not apply), a rebase of the format-truncation patch, and a backport of
the upstream format-length patch.

Info from OE-Core master patch follows:

	From OE-Core rev: aaf4c4f3d09ac3897205417eb15e19d54e0c0d05
	From: Joshua Lock <joshua.g.lock@intel.com>

	Backport a fix from upstream for a -Wformat-truncation=2 warning
	and implement a simple fix for a -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning.

	Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock <joshua.g.lock@intel.com>
	Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

+Subject: [PATCH] Add GCC7 -Wimplicit-fallthrough support/fixes.
+
+GCC7 will have a new -Wimplicit-fallthrough warning. It did catch one
+small buglet in elflint option procession. So it seems useful to enable
+to make sure all swatch case fallthroughs are deliberate.
+
+Add configure check to detect whether gcc support -Wimplicit-fallthrough
+and enable it. Add fixes and explicit fallthrough comments where necessary.

+Subject: [PATCH] ar: Fix GCC7 -Wformat-length issues.
+
+GCC7 adds warnings for snprintf formatting into too small buffers.
+Fix the two issues pointed out by the new warning. The ar header
+fields are fixed length containing left-justified strings without
+zero terminator. snprintf always adds a '\0' char at the end (which
+we then don't copy into the ar header field) and numbers are decimal
+strings of fixed 10 chars  (-Wformat-length thinks formatting
+them as size_t might overflow the buffer on 64bit arches).

+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libasm: Fix one GCC7 -Wformat-truncation=2 warning.
+
+Make sure that if we have really lots of labels the tempsym doesn't get
+truncated because it is too small to hold the whole name.
+
+This doesn't enable -Wformat-truncation=2 or fix other "issues" pointed
+out by enabling this warning because there are currently some issues
+with it. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79448

+GCC7 adds -Wimplicit-fallthrough to warn when a switch case falls through,
+however this causes warnings (which are promoted to errors) with the elfutils
+patches from Debian for mips and parisc, which use fallthrough's by design.
+
+Explicitly mark the intentional fallthrough switch cases with a comment to
+disable the warnings where the fallthrough behaviour is desired.
