All of the symver11 fails except the sh ones are due to the symbol
actually being removed!  As it is supposed to be, if not used in a
relocation.  And those targets happen to reduce the reference to foo
down to a section symbol.

I wonder if ".symver intsym, extsym@@nodename, remove" ought to really
remove the symbol resulting in an assembly error if referenced?
