In bug 1470701, we added a dummy global variable so that it ends up in
the bss section, making it large enough for two pointers. Unfortunately,
in some cases, the symbol is eliminated by the linker because it is
unused. So we try to ensure it stays there.

Bug 1505608 - Try to ensure the bss section of the elfhack testcase stays large enough.

[Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request]

Feature/Bug causing the regression: Bug 1470701

User impact if declined: Failure to build on Linux in some cases because of a test failure during the build

Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes

Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes

Needs manual test from QE?: No

If yes, steps to reproduce: 

List of other uplifts needed: None

Risk to taking this patch: Low

Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This only changes a testcase that is used during the build to ensure elfhack does its work correctly. The test failed because the testcase assumptions can be broken when it is linked.

String changes made/needed: N/A

Oh, right, no need for uplift then. Debian ESR60 was affected because I applied bug 1470701 downstream (for e.g. armhf).
