Subject: [PATCH] snd_dlsym: only do versioning checks if built --with-versioning

Subject: [PATCH] snd_dlsym: only do versioning checks if built 
--with-versioning

a combination of some of the following garbage collecting LD/CFLAGS
-Os -g0 -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections -s -Wl,--gc-sections
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables
causes the symbol versioning marker symbols to be removed from BSS
since they're otherwise unreferenced. this causes dlsym failing to
find them which results in runtime breakage:

$ alsamixer
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:142:(snd_dlsym_verify) unable to verify version for 
symbol snd_config_hook_load
ALSA lib conf.c:3328:(snd_config_hooks_call) symbol snd_config_hook_load 
is not defined inside (null)
ALSA lib conf.c:3788:(snd_config_update_r) hooks failed, removing 
configuration
cannot open mixer: No such device or address

correct DSO:
$ objdump -T libasound.so.2.strip | grep 
_snd_config_hook_load_dlsym_config_hook_001
001196bc g    DO .bss   00000001 _snd_config_hook_load_dlsym_config_hook_001

incorrect DSO:
$ objdump -T libs/libasound.so.2 | grep 
_snd_config_hook_load_dlsym_config_hook_001
00000000 g    DO *ABS*  00000001 _snd_config_hook_load_dlsym_config_hook_001

since alsa was built with --without-versioning, doing those versioning
checks at all is unnecessary and harmful and thus now disabled in this case.
