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"

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
