Note that an alternative to manually marking the asm files would be to
use -Wl,-gcs=always when linking the .so, but someone still needs to
actually check that it's OK to do so.

Title:
  lib25519 doesn't expose GCS attribute on arm64

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in lib25519 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In GCC 15 all arm64 binaries that have standard branch protection
  (present in our default flags) started using GCS. However, the linker
  will issue warnings if mixing libraries that expose GCS compatibility
  with non-GCS ones.

  This is the case for lib25519, as it contains asm files that needs to
  be manually annotated to export the proper section.

  It's a fairly annoying issue, since glibc *does* expose GCS info since
  2.42-0ubuntu1, thus triggering the warning:

  ❯ readelf -n libc.so.6
