[Bug binutils/5160] New: bfd/elflink.c with native HP cc: error #2028: expression must have a constant value

[haubi at gentoo dot org]

When building binutils-2.18 with HP AnsiC compiler, which does not build C99 by
default, besides many warnings there is one error:

/source/binutils-2.18/bfd/elflink.c", line 7378: error #2028: expression must
have a constant value
    char          symbuf [bufsz];

Using an enum for bufsz instead of const int will work here:
