Hello,

this fixes a bug (found by inspection) that would prevent elf_syminfo from
looking up symbols defined in modules other than the executable.

Bootstrapped and regtested together with the next patch on x86_64-linux
(excluding Java, including Go), OK for trunk?

libbacktrace/Changelog:
2013-07-22  Alexander Monakov  <amonakov@ispras.ru>

	* elf.c (elf_syminfo): Loop over the elf_syminfo_data chain.

Thanks for noticing the problem.  This patch isn't enough by itself.
The code has to protect itself against the list changing in
mid-stream.  See dwarf_fileline in dwarf.c.
