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>.

+ Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
+ environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
+ expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
+ programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This
+ control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
+ particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
+ which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the
+ need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
+
+ The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
+ forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
+ which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
+ translate it into packet processing rules.
+
+ See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
+ utilities.
+
+ To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
+ called openvswitch.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
