      Description of problem:

      Attempting to test if grub2 binaries were properly built with stack protection via -fstack-protector-strong yields skip: stack-prot test because not compiled C/C++ code.

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

      grub2-tools-minimal-2.06-27.el9_0.x86_64
      annobin-annocheck-10.54-2.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      Deterministic.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. dnf install -y annobin-annocheck grub2-tools-minimal
      2. dnf debuginfo-install -y grub2-tools-minimal
      3. rpm -ql grub2-tools-minimal | 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:

      Expected results:

      No "skip: stack-prot test because not compiled C/C++ code" on the /usr/sbin/grub2-set-bootflag binary.

      Additional info:

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