Recommendation: Please fix the build system for the package or else add a skip of tests to the rpminspect.yaml file.

Why this bug was filed: All packages in RHEL 9 built with gcc (g++, etc.) are required to use a common set of flags provided by the distribution. These flags turn on important security and performance features so it is critical that any package that lacks these flags be repaired. A scanning tool named annocheck, part of the annobin package, was used to scan RHEL 9 packages. This BZ was created because binary packages of this component with the mentioned NVRs were not built with the requisite flags for one or more RHEL 9 architectures.

How to reproduce the failure: You could try running annocheck locally against your builds: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/02/04/annocheck-examining-the-contents-of-binary-files.
