Unfortunatly, --default-symver doesn't work on FreeBSD 12, with LLVM's
LD. Instead, we will generate a temporary version-script.

In order to allow regenerating the script, we'll have a different
filename. In order to check if the content is up-to-date, we'll always
generated it and compare.

Such a use of $(origin ...) is pretty fragile. Maybe better use ?= ?

Isn't this going to get in the way of your "build everything from root"
effort, where $@ will include a path? Also do we really need .tmp.tmp
files?

Seeing this right adjacent in context - any reason you use libxen$(LIBNAME)
and not the same lib$(LIB_FILE_NAME) for the base file name?

If I hadn't checked, I'd have assumed that *.tmp are removed without
being named explicitly. So yes, I see the need for the addition, but then
I wonder why you don't also remove the .*.tmp.tmp file, which may be left
around if the build is interrupted at exactly the "right" time.

It was all builds, not just FreeBSD 12, and not really FreeBSD either.

LLD simply doesn't understand the --default-symver.

It's just that the FreeBSD builds are the only ones where we're using
LLD.  All the gitlab clang tests are clang+binutils, not clang+llvm.  We
ought to change this irrespective.

It has come up in the past that using literally VERS_ is buggy, because
anyone who copy&pastes too much of the canonical reference will end up
making a compatible binary.

Xen's stable libraries are buggy, and at some point we really do need to
bump them all to 2.0 to fix this.

VERS should be a library reference, so libxen$(LIBNAME) in our case.  I
suggest we take this opportunity to fix the unstable libraries.

I'm not sure why I used $(origin), I've written that more than 6 month
ago, but this way of using it is actually described in the manual, when
documenting ?= but with a = instead of := .
So, maybe I wanted to have ?= but with immediate evaluation rather than
deferred. Maybe I had issue with $(version-script) evaluating to
different values.

If that ok, I'd like to keep using these runes, since ?:= doesn't exist.

Good call, I'll replace that with $(@D)/.$(@F), that will be one
less thing to deal with, Also, I guess just adding a dot to the filename
would be enough, and we would have `mv .libxen.map.tmp libxen.map.tmp`,
and no more .tmp.tmp files.

That was the name used before, I guess it would be fine to rename. I
just need to set $(version-script) later as $(LIB_FILE_NAME) would not
be defined yet.

I forgot because $(move-if-changed) remove the temporary file. I'll
clean the .*.tmp file.

What's wrong with using deferred evaluation for this macro? $(LIBNAME) (and
$(LIB_FILE_NAME)) don't vary over time, do they? Plus ...

... you'd likely deal with that issue as well, unless there's a "too early"
use of $(version-script) somewhere.
