On aarch64 musl gcc 14.x compiler, trying compiling elfutils 0.192 with
lto option enabled will cause null-dereference error.
Example error message:

...
elf_compress.c: In function 'elf_compress':
elf_compress.c:675:26: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference]
  675 |           shdr->sh_flags |= SHF_COMPRESSED;
      |                          ^
elf_compress_gnu.c: In function 'elf_compress_gnu':
elf_compress_gnu.c:127:25: error: potential null pointer dereference [-Werror=null-dereference]
  127 |           shdr->sh_size = new_size;
      |                         ^                      ^
...

This is a false postive warning but will abort compilation if gcc has
`-Werror` flag. This commit add a patch for this, see the bugzilla
report below.

This commit backports a series of patches to fix some errors.

Add patch:
- 007-add-libeu-symbols-to-libelf.patch
- 008-fix-autoconf-ENABLE_IMA_VERIFICATION.patch
- 009-fix-null-dereference-with-lto.patch

+Subject: [PATCH] libelf: Add libeu objects to libelf.a static archive
+
+libelf might use some symbols from libeu.a, specifically the eu-search
+wrappers. But we don't ship libeu.a separately. So include the libeu
+objects in the libelf.a archive to facilitate static linking.
+
+       * libelf/Makefile.am (libeu_objects): New variable.
+       (libelf_a_LIBADD): New, add libeu_objects.

+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] libelf: Only fetch shdr once in elf_compress[_gnu]
+
+Some compilers assume the second call to elf[32|64]_getshdr can fail
+and produce error: potential null pointer dereference. Just store the
+result of the first call and reuse (when not NULL).
+
+       * libelf/elf_compress.c (elf_compress): Store getshdr result in
+       a shdr union var.
+       * libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c (): Likewise
