+Avoid .symver on common symbols [BZ #21666]
+
+The .symver directive on common symbol just creates a new common symbol,
+not an alias and the newer assembler with the bug fix for
+
+https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21661
+
+will issue an error. Before the fix, we got
+
+$ readelf -sW libc.so | grep "loc[12s]"
