In addition to the earlier adjustment to elf_find_function making it actually
reported file names when possible, I found that it would only report the last
out of potentially many filenames. This was correct for compiler and assembler
generated object files, but not for ones resulting from ld -r (as used, for
example, in the Linux kernel build process).

Build and tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu.

	* elf.c (elf_find_function): Don't use the last file symbol ever,
	seen, but the last one seen prior to the symbol being reported.
	Don't report a filename at all for global symbols when that might
	be ambiguous/wrong.
