libfoo.so

Hi Dodji.

I was playing with ASan in LLVM and noticed, that it can implicitly change
global variable symbol size (that is seems to be an ABI breakage). However,
abidiff didn't report this change:

max@max:/tmp$ cat libfoo.c 
long buggy_symbol = 4;
long foo (long *p) { return *p; }

max@max:/tmp$ clang libfoo.c -shared -fpic -o libfoo.so -g 

max@max:/tmp$ readelf -s libfoo.so | grep buggy_symbol
     7: 0000000000201030     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 buggy_symbol
    49: 0000000000201030     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   21 buggy_symbol

max@max:/tmp$ clang libfoo.c -shared -fpic -o libfoo2.so -g -fsanitize=address

max@max:/tmp$ readelf -s libfoo2.so | grep buggy_symbol
    12: 0000000000201080    64 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   23 buggy_symbol
    56: 0000000000201080    64 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   23 buggy_symbol

Is this an abidiff's bug (should it report such an issue)?

I'm attaching libfoo.so and libfoo2.so.
Thanks!
