PATCH: Reduce size of SymbianOS DLLs

Hi Guys,

I would definitely support the idea of obsoleting the "old, old ABI" 
support.  As far as I know there is nobody using it today, but I think 
that we ought to do the proper thing and add the arm-*-oabi target to 
the obsolete configurations section at the start of bfd/config.bfd. 
Then, after the 2.16 release we can remove the old code and merge 
elf32-arm.h and elfarm-nabi.c into elf32-arm.c.

Cheers
