Attempts to build libgphoto2 with clang fails with error:

libgphoto2-2.5.30, but persists in libgphoto2-2.5.31

NEWS said that gpi_gphoto_port_type_map was removed, but it apparently still exists in files https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/blob/5f9f6c87189d3223fb26d2db9a6a1a825bda9cf2/libgphoto2_port/libgphoto2_port/libgphoto2_port.ver#L76 https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/blob/5f9f6c87189d3223fb26d2db9a6a1a825bda9cf2/libgphoto2_port/gphoto2/gphoto2-port-info-list.h#L65

News of removal: https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/blob/5f9f6c87189d3223fb26d2db9a6a1a825bda9cf2/NEWS#L1894

It can be triggered with GCC/binutils as well by putting -Wl,--no-undefined-version on CFLAGS. Yes, it would be nice to have this fixed.
