Description of problem:

Attempting to test if thin_metadata_pack|thin_metadata_unpack binaries were properly built with stack protection via -fstack-protector-strong yields skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found.

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

RHEL-9.0 packages:
device-mapper-persistent-data-0.9.0-12.el9.x86_64
annobin-annocheck-10.54-2.el9.x86_64

RHEL-9.2 packages:
device-mapper-persistent-data-0.9.0-13.el9.x86_64
annobin-annocheck-10.73-3.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install -y annobin-annocheck device-mapper-persistent-data
2. dnf debuginfo-install -y device-mapper-persistent-data
3. rpm -ql device-mapper-persistent-data | grep /usr/sbin/ | while read f ; do test -L $f || echo $f ; done | xargs – annocheck --verbose --skip-all --test-stack-prot

Actual results:

RHEL-9.0
annocheck: Version 10.54.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/pdata_tools: PASS: stack-prot test
Hardened: /usr/sbin/pdata_tools: Overall: PASS.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: info: assembler built by GCC detected - treating as pure assembler.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: Overall: PASS.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: info: assembler built by GCC detected - treating as pure assembler.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: Overall: PASS.

RHEL-9.2
annocheck: Version 10.73.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/pdata_tools: PASS: stack-prot test
Hardened: /usr/sbin/pdata_tools: Overall: PASS.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: info: assembler built by GCC detected - treating as pure assembler.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: PASS: stack-prot test
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_pack: Overall: PASS.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: info: assembler built by GCC detected - treating as pure assembler.
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found
Hardened: /usr/sbin/thin_metadata_unpack: Overall: PASS.

Expected results:
No "skip: stack-prot test because no compiled code found" on binaries.

Additional info:

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