Here we go again :-(.  Tool versions as follows:

    alpha: Restore symbol versions for symbols exported from assembly

I guess that commit hasn't made it into Linus' tree :-(.  If the patch
is short, please forward if you would be so kind.  Many thanks in
advance.

Never mind.  Linus pulled it five days ago as I type this.  The fixes
obviously didn't make it in time for 4.13-final, but should be in 4.14.
