I did investigate a little deeper the issue, and it seems to occure when
using gcc14 and musl, as gcc14 isn't supported on 2024.02.x, I didn't
succeed to reproduce the error.

Indeed, a more minimal fix is to backport [this
patch](https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/elfutils/patch/20231210202033.151578-1-raj.khem@gmail.com/#162118).
This is something that I did and can send in a follow up patch if
required.

Thank you very much for thoses explanations, here the answer is yes
however as it can't be reproduced in the LTS and as a bump will be
required one day, is it necessary to first give a minimal solution ?
