There are cases where clang compiler is packaged in a way
readelf is a symbolic link to llvm-readelf. In such cases,
llvm-readelf will be used instead of default binutils readelf,
and the following error will appear during libbpf build:
Warning: Num of global symbols in
/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/sharedobjs/libbpf-in.o (367)
does NOT match with num of versioned symbols in
/home/yhs/work/bpf-next/tools/testing/selftests/bpf/tools/build/libbpf/libbpf.so libbpf.map (383).
Please make sure all LIBBPF_API symbols are versioned in libbpf.map.

The above failure is due to different printouts for some ABS
versioned symbols. For example, with the same libbpf.so,
$ /bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
134: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0
202: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0
...
$ /opt/llvm/bin/readelf --dyn-syms --wide tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.so | grep "LIBBPF" | grep ABS
134: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBBPF_0.5.0@@LIBBPF_0.5.0
202: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS LIBBPF_0.6.0@@LIBBPF_0.6.0
...
The binutils readelf doesn't print out the symbol LIBBPF_* version and llvm-readelf does.
Such a difference caused libbpf build failure with llvm-readelf.
The proposed fix filters out all ABS symbols as they are not part of the comparison.
This works for both binutils readelf and llvm-readelf.
