cc/gcc: remove --enable-symver option

That option is coming from the original crosstool, and is not entirely
understand here.

Moreover, it breaks with newer gcc-s: 4.6.1 now breaks while configuring
libjava (and probably some other libs as well, untested).

There is an related bug report to the gcc BZ:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49555

If need be, the old behavior can be restored with:
CC_CORE_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY="--enable-symver=gnu"
CC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY="--enable-symver=gnu"

MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.6.0,

for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make

     9
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions

from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,

the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels

    12
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
