[patch] Fix C++ demangling of minsyms with symver

Hi,

this is not for any regressions, just while playing with breakpoints I have
noticed GDB cannot break on some libstdc++ versioned symbols because the
demangler fails due to the `@...' suffix:

00000000000607d0 T std::istream::ignore()@@GLIBCXX_3.4.5
00000000000607d0 T std::istream::ignore()@GLIBCXX_3.4

(gdb) b 'std::istream::ignore()@GLIBCXX_3.4' 
Breakpoint 1 at 0x607d0: file /usr/src/debug/gcc-4.6.0-20110509/obj-x86_64-redhat-linux/x86_64-redhat-linux/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/istream.tcc, line 461.
(gdb) b 'std::istream::ignore()@@GLIBCXX_3.4.5' 
Note: breakpoint 1 also set at pc 0x607d0.
Breakpoint 2 at 0x607d0: file /usr/src/debug/gcc-4.6.0-20110509/obj-x86_64-redhat-linux/x86_64-redhat-linux/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/istream.tcc, line 461.
(gdb) b 'std::istream::ignore()'                
Function "std::istream::ignore()" not defined.

This is not exactly reproducible with FSF GDB HEAD + this patch as it needs
other patches (such as removing DMGL_VERBOSE and others).  But it is
independent enough with a clear testcase so posting it separately for
simplicity.

One can see the default resolving to the @@ variant is not implemented.  Not
sure if it should be but let that be a possible incremental patch in the
future.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora15-linux-gnu.  I will check
it in (not for 7.3) in some time if no comments appear.


Thanks,
Jan
