This allows us to support symbols optionally available based on
configuration, not just on compiler built-in #defines.

This option was added as a transition aide when symbol versioning was
first added. It was enabled by default in 2007 and is supported even
by the old GPLv2 binutils. Trying to disable it currently fails to
build in libc and at this point it isn't worth fixing the build.

Warning, after symbol versioning is enabled, going back is not easy
(use WITHOUT_SYMVER at your own risk).
Change the default thread library to libthr.
There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the
thread libraries. If necessary, this will happen later.
