+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2144509 +++

Description of problem:

Attempting to test if iputils' binaries were properly built with stack protection via -fstack-protector-strong yields skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

iputils-20210202-7.el9.x86_64
annobin-annocheck-10.54-2.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install -y annobin-annocheck iputils
2. dnf debuginfo-install -y iputils
3. rpm -ql iputils | grep -E '/usr/s?bin/' | while read f ; do test -L $f || echo $f ; done | xargs -- annocheck --verbose --skip-all --test-stack-prot

Actual results:

annocheck: Version 10.54.

Additional info:

Adding Nick to Cc in case this turns out to be an issue in annocheck itself.

Hi Jan,

  I think that this might be a build issue with iputils, but I am willing to be
  persuaded otherwise.  Here are some things that I found:
 
> Hardened: arping: warn: Failed to parse separate debug file

  This does indeed appear to be true.  That is the debug info files
  do not actually appear to contain DWARF debug information.  I suspect
  that this is because there was no debug information in the binary before
  it was split into a stripped file and a separate debuginfo file.

  This is happening because there are no annobin notes in the binary apart 
  from one which came from an assembler source file.  Hence annocheck is
  unable to prove that the binary was actually produced by a compiler.

  Annocheck does look to see if there is a .comment section in the binary,
  which can sometimes help determine which tool was used to create the
  program, but this is also missing.  It also checks the DW_AT_producer
  tag in the DWARF debug info, but since that info is missing, annocheck
  is at a loss for any other way to determine how the program was made.

 
Checking the build.log for the x86_64 build of iputils-20210202-7.el9.x86_64
I found this for the production of the clockdiff executable:

  [22/29] gcc -Iclockdiff.p -I. -I.. -fdiagnostics-color=always -pipe -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall -Winvalid-pch -Wextra -Wpedantic -std=c99 -include config.h -include git-version.h '-DGETTEXT_PACKAGE="iputils"' -DUSE_IDN -fpie -MD -MQ clockdiff.p/clockdiff.c.o -MF clockdiff.p/clockdiff.c.o.d -o clockdiff.p/clockdiff.c.o -c ../clockdiff.c

So it looks like it is being compiled without any security options, without
debugging and without the annobin plugin.  Hence the weird results from 
annocheck.

The same appears to be true for arping, ping and the other executables. :-(

Cheers
  Nick
