From: Peter Tatrai <peter.tatrai.ext@siemens.com>

This commit restores the no-version-scripts.patch for ConnMan,
which was removed in the commit (5c269ba9a396832af3f8139ecaa0cfd9f7d4d1b5)
as part of cleaning up gold and MIPS binutils workarounds.

The removal of this patch caused runtime crashes (segfaults)
on the powerpc target due to symbol visibility issues with glib
and stdio. Re-adding the patch resolves these crashes by disabling
version scripts in the linker flags.

+Subject: [PATCH] connman: disable version-scripts to fix crashes at startup
+
+With binutils 2.27 on at least PowerPC, connmand will crash on `connmand --help`.
+This appears to be due to the symbol visibilty scripts hiding symbols that stdio
+looks up at runtime, resulting in it segfaulting.
+
+This certainly appears to be a bug in binutils 2.27 although the problem has
+been known about for some time:
+
+https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17908
+
+As the version scripts are only used to hide symbols from plugins we can safely
+remove the scripts to work around the problem until binutils is fixed.
