Darryl L. MilesandClaude Opus 4.8 b3d6540f13 build: isolate build-info defines into utils/buildinfo.c (ccache-friendly)
MAGIC_VERSION / MAGIC_REVISION / MAGIC_COMMIT / MAGIC_BUILDDATE were on the
global DFLAGS, so every object's compile command line carried them.  Because
the command line is part of ccache/sccache's hash key and MAGIC_BUILDDATE
changes every second, that meant a cache miss on every unit on every build;
it also smeared the baked-in date/commit across "whenever each file last
recompiled".

Move the four values into a single translation unit:
  * utils/magic_buildinfo.h -- extern MagicVersion/MagicRevision/MagicCommit/
    MagicCompileTime (MagicCommit is new; the other three moved here from
    utils/magic.h, which now includes this header).
  * utils/buildinfo.c -- the ONLY unit compiled with the version defines
    (target-specific `buildinfo.o: DFLAGS += ${DFLAGS_MAGICVERSION}` in
    utils/Makefile.in); it defines the four globals.  ${DFLAGS_MAGICVERSION}
    is removed from the global DFLAGS/DFLAGS_NOSTUB.

Consumers updated to read the runtime symbol instead of the compile-time
macro:
  * magicTop.c / tclmagic.c no longer define the globals (the MAGIC_WRAPPER
    duplicate-symbol guard is gone -- buildinfo.o owns them for every variant,
    including WASM, which links both mains).
  * Tcl_PkgProvide/PkgRequire in router/ext2spice/lef/ext2sim/plot/tclmagic
    now pass MagicVersion.
  * extflat: EFVersion (a static-initialized copy of MAGIC_VERSION) is dropped;
    EFread.c compares the .ext version against MagicVersion directly -- the same
    value ExtCell.c already *writes* into .ext files, so read and write are now
    consistent.

Verified: only buildinfo.o carries -DMAGIC_* (hash/DBio/windCmdSZ carry none);
Tcl (375 files) and --without-tcl builds rc=0, version/commit/date embedded in
tclmagic.so, magicTop.o no longer defines MagicVersion; in-tree source clean.

/*
* buildinfo.c --
*
* The single translation unit that captures the build-information defines.
*
* This is the ONLY file compiled with -DMAGIC_VERSION / -DMAGIC_REVISION /
* -DMAGIC_COMMIT / -DMAGIC_BUILDDATE (see the buildinfo.o recipe in
* utils/Makefile.in). Isolating them here keeps those defines -- especially the
* ever-changing MAGIC_BUILDDATE -- off every other compile command line, so
* ccache/sccache keys stay stable and the version/date/commit baked into the
* binary are consistent rather than smeared across whenever each object last
* recompiled.
*
* Consumers include "utils/magic_buildinfo.h" and read these externs.
