Description Michal Jireš 2024-02-27 14:29:10 UTC 
Building elfutils with GCC 14 fails here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7/elfutils/standard/x86_64

Due to:
elfstrmerge.c: In function ‘main’:
elfstrmerge.c:450:32: error: ‘calloc’ sizes specified with ‘sizeof’ in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Werror=calloc-transposed-args]
  450 |   newscnbufs = calloc (sizeof (void *), newshnums);
      |                                ^~~~
elfstrmerge.c:450:32: note: earlier argument should specify number of elements, later size of each element
