[RFC PATCH v3 1/4] objtool: allow nested externs to enable BUILD_BUG()

From: Vasily Gorbik
Date: Wed Sep 30 2020 - 18:18:04 EST


Currently BUILD_BUG() macro is expanded to smth like the following:
do {
extern void __compiletime_assert_0(void)
__attribute__((error("BUILD_BUG failed")));
if (!(!(1)))
__compiletime_assert_0();
} while (0);

If used in a function body this obviously would produce build errors
with -Wnested-externs and -Werror.

Build objtool with -Wno-nested-externs to enable BUILD_BUG() usage.
