* configure.in: Bump version.
* configure: Regenerate.
* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_link_assign_sym_version): Continue matching
against version nodes when a global match is a wildcard. Similarly
continue matching on local wildcard matches, rather than only
continuing for "*". Have any global wildcard match override a
local wildcard match. Correct logic hiding unversioned symbol.
(bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Update for changes to struct
bfd_elf_version_expr.

(realsymbol): Correct backslash quote logic.
