Title:
  libpci.a static library contains symver section

Status in pciutils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
