File binutils-revert-nm-symversion.diff of Package cross-arm-binutils.14766

Some packages of ours rely on the output of nm to not contain
symversions.  E.g. perf uses 'nm -D' to construct a linker input
file with symbol names.  ld errors on the '@' characters.  Until
those packages are fixed we use this patch.  We have to carry it
for old code streams forever.
