+Subject: [PATCH] configure: only use --default-symver when the linker supports
+ it
+
+jansson enables symbol versioning on glibc by passing
+-Wl,--default-symver to the linker. This is a GNU ld option which is
+not understood by every linker, e.g. ld.lld errors out with:
+
+  ld.lld: error: unknown argument '--default-symver'
+
+Probe the linker with a link test before adding the flag so the build
+works with both GNU ld and lld. When the linker does not accept the
+option the symbol versioning provided by the explicit version script
+is still applied; only the implicit default version is dropped.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://github.com/akheron/jansson/pull/744]
