[OpenRISC] [PATCH] bfd/elf32-or1k: fix building with gcc version < 5

[Giulio Benetti]

Gcc version >= 5 has standard C mode not set to -std=gnu11, so if we use
an old compiler(i.e. gcc 4.9) build fails on:
```
elf32-or1k.c:2251:3: error: 'for' loop initial declarations are only allowed in
C99 or C11 mode
    for (size_t i = 0; i < insn_count; i++)
    ^
```

So let's declare `size_t i` at the top of the function instead of inside
for loop.

This looks ok to me.  Can you also include the changelog entry needed for
binutils patches?

Something like:

bfd/ChangeLog:

	* elf32-or1k.c (or1k_write_plt_entry): Move i declaration to top of
	function.

Sure, this it the first time I send a patch for binutils. I've just sent 
the v2.

Did you find this problem on current mainline binutils?  The configure
machinery is supposed to supply the appropriate -std=c99 or -std=gnu99
when using older compilers.  That happens for me when I build with
gcc-4.9.  I don't think any patch is needed for mainline.

On Buildroot they don't pass -std=c99/g99 and this is the result:
https://gitlab.com/bootlin/toolchains-builder/-/jobs/1325646298

This patch seems to follow all the rest code style of binutils since no 
other part of it fails and this happens only after patch [1] has been 
upstreamed.

Here [2] you can see all the other toolchains built succesfully and only 
Openrisc fails after the patch provided by Stafford([1]).

That appears to be building binutils 2.35.2

True, we've only just switched over to requiring C99.

OK, so the real problem is in a backport.  It isn't current mainline
binutils configure, which is what I was worried about.

BTW, thank you for posting a fix here, even if it isn't strictly
necessary for mainline.  Please note that I'm not advocating against
your patch.  If target maintainers want to keep their code compatible
with C89 that's fine by me.

...it happens on mainline too but it can be solved by adding -std=c99 to 
CFLAGS.

I didn't know about this since no other file failed building on C99. 
What it seems strange to me is that on buildroot binutils seem to be 
built without -std=c99

Do you have an example of it happening on mainline? According to Alan, mainline
should not happen as we should be applying -std=c99 automatically.  If not we
can fix that.

As mainline binutils is supposed to require c99 now.  I rather not change the
code but fix any issues with configure not setting flags.

I looked at ./configure.ac and I confirm that we have setup c99 flags.  But I
also notice in bfd/configure.ac that we define it again without c99, but that
should not matter as CC should already be defined.  Either way does the below
patch help?

I was wrong, it's not on mainline, it's on 2.35.2.

I've verified that it inherits -std=c99 from upper configure.ac, so no 
need for it. Then please ignore this patch and we will use it backported 
on binutils:
2.32
2.34
2.35.2
2.36.1

in Buildroot. Sorry for the noise :-)

and Best regards
