On powerpc with recent versions of binutils, readelf outputs an extra
field when dumping the symbols of an object file. For example:
35: 0000000000000838 96 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT [<localentry>: 8] 1 btf_is_struct
The extra "[<localentry>: 8]" prevents the GLOBAL_SYM_COUNT variable to
be computed correctly and causes the check_abi target to fail.
Fix that by looking for the symbol name in the last field instead of the
8th one. This way it should also cope with future extra fields.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
