objtool: Validate disassembler headers in libopcodes probegrafted
commit 3f2de814c059 ("objtool: Fix libopcodes linking with static libraries") tested for libopcodes availability by linking a test snippet with a forward declaration of disassemble_init_for_target(). However, testing symbol linkage with an extern declaration only verifies the presence of the library (.so/.a) and bypasses checking for development headers (binutils-dev). On systems where libopcodes is present without development headers installed, the probe succeeds, enabling BUILD_DISAS. Subsequent compilation of objtool then fails: fatal error: 'bfd.h' file not found 113 | #include <bfd.h> Additionally, the probe invokes $(HOSTCC) without $(HOSTCFLAGS), ignoring any sysroot or include flags specified for the host compiler. Fix this by including <bfd.h> and <dis-asm.h> directly in the test snippet, passing $(HOSTCFLAGS) so host compiler options are respected, and defining PACKAGE="objtool" to satisfy the configuration check in <bfd.h>.

+Speakup is a kernel based screen review package for the linux operating
+system. It allows blind users to interact with applications on the
+linux console by means of synthetic speech.
+
+Currently, speakup has one issue we know of.
+
+It seems to only happen on SMP systems. It seems that text in the output buffer
+gets garbled because a lock is not set. This bug happens regularly, but no one
+has been able to find a situation which produces it consistently.
+
+Patches, suggestions, corrections, etc, are definitely welcome.
+
+We prefer that you contact us on the mailing list; however, if you do
+not want to subscribe to a mailing list, send your email to all of the
