backward.h binutils compilation issue

[shrout1]

When building kismet from source on Kali-Rolling 2023.4 64 bit I encounter the following error:

In file included from backward_wrapper.h:28,
                 from kismet_server.cc:25:
backward.h: In member function ‘void backward::TraceResolverLinuxImpl<backward::trace_resolver_tag::libbfd>::find_in_section(bfd_vma, bfd_vma, bfd_fileobject&, asection*, find_sym_result&)’:

The problem is present in the file kismet-master/backward.h. By changing this code in the following fashion (per this stack overflow article) this resolves the compilation issue:

if ((bfd_section_flags(section)                                         
                        & SEC_ALLOC) == 0)
        return; // a debug section is never loaded automatically.

bfd_vma sec_addr = bfd_section_vma(section);
bfd_size_type size = bfd_section_size(section);

The application then properly installs and can be accessed at 127.0.0.1:2501 via a web browser after the kismet service is started.

I saw this fix linked in an aws_lambda_cpp issue

My current configuration includes:

GNU Make 4.3
Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 2023.4
OS architecture: aarch64
g++ (Debian 13.2.0-5) 13.2.0a
