[Bug 1831743] [NEW] libpci.a static library contains symver section

[Jiaxun Yang]

Public bug reported:

When linking program statically with libpci.a, it reported:
ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.4.0/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpci.a(access.o): symbol pci_fill_info@@LIBPCI_3.3 has undefined version LIBPCI_3.3
ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.4.0/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpci.a(access.o): symbol pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.0 has undefined version LIBPCI_3.0
ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.4.0/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpci.a(access.o): symbol pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.1 has undefined version LIBPCI_3.1
ld.lld: error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5.4.0/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/libpci.a(access.o): symbol pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.2 has undefined version LIBPCI_3.2

However, static library should not contain versioning information(symver
section).

objdump showed these symbols:
00000000000004f0 g     F .text  0000000000000054 pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.0
00000000000004f0 g     F .text  0000000000000054 pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.1
00000000000004f0 g     F .text  0000000000000054 pci_fill_info at LIBPCI_3.2
00000000000004f0 g     F .text  0000000000000054 pci_fill_info@@LIBPCI_3.3

Probably PCI_SHARED_LIB is defined in static build. This issue existed
in all Ubuntu releases.

Thanks.
