In Details
This patch updates the libsframe configure script to correctly determine the package version. Libsframe is a library for creating and manipulating stack frames. The patch ensures that the BFD_VERSION macro is properly defined by including bfd/version.m4, which is part of the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library.
For Context
Libsframe is a library used by binary utilities to handle stack frames, which are data structures used to manage function calls in programs. This patch corrects how the version number of libsframe is determined during the configuration process (when the software is prepared for installation). By including a specific file (bfd/version.m4), the build process can accurately identify the version of libsframe being used.
