Test ffi008 fails with "multiple definition of `mystruct'" #4914

Description

@bavier

Steps to Reproduce

$ guix time-machine --commit=a62f0f6d85ca1c16674e6fcf284c5aca08986603 -- build [email protected]

This uses gcc 10.3.0 and binutils 2.37

Expected Behavior

Test should pass.

Observed Behavior

The following error message:

    ffi008:
Error: test/ffi008
ld: /tmp/guix-build-idris-1.3.3.drv-0/ccmIt9AI.o:(.bss.mystruct+0x0): multiple definition of `mystruct'; /tmp/guix-build-idris-1.3.3.drv-0/cc3UDCaU.o:(.bss.mystruct+0x0): first defined here

      Use -p '/ffi008/' to rerun this test only.

Suggested fix

Currently the mystruct structure becomes defined in both the linked ffi008.o and the generated idris code, via the %include C "ffi008.h". The structure should be defined in the .c and only declared in .h. The following patch fixes the test for me:
