+Subject: [PATCH] Make vboot_version extern in header
+
+When enabling `-fno-common` in Fuchsia, we get a bunch of linker errors
+when linking futility:
+
+```
+ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: vboot_version
+>>> defined at futility.h:43 (../../third_party/vboot_reference/futility/futility.h:43)
+>>> host_x63-asan_no_detect_leaks/obj/third_party/vboot_reference/futility/futility.cmd_bdb.c.o:(vboot_version)
+>>> defined at futility.h:43 (../../third_party/vboot_reference/futility/futility.h:43)
+>>> host_x64-asan_no_detect_leaks/obj/third_party/vboot_reference/futility/futility.cmd_create.c.o:(.bss.vboot_version+0x0)
+```
+
+and think this is because -fno-common places vboot_version for
+unitialized global variables in the BSS section of each object file.
+Making it extern instead resolves each reference to its definition in
+futility/misc.c.
