[PATCH v4] libbpf: disable SEC pragma macro on GCC
From: James Hilliard
Date: Wed Jul 06 2022 - 07:18:56 EST
It seems the gcc preprocessor breaks with pragmas when surrounding
__attribute__.
Disable these pragmas on GCC due to upstream bugs see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55578
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90400
Fixes errors like:
error: expected identifier or '(' before '#pragma'
106 | SEC("cgroup/bind6")
| ^~~
error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '#pragma'
114 | char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
| ^~~

Changes v3 -> v4:
- disable SEC pragmas entirely on GCC
Changes v2 -> v3:
- just fix SEC pragma
Changes v1 -> v2:
- replace typeof with __typeof__ instead of changing pragma macros
