cxx_demangle_sym is weak in case demangle-cxx.c replaces the
definition in symbol-elf.c. When demangle-cxx.c is built
HAVE_CXA_DEMANGLE_SUPPORT is defined, as such the define can be used
to avoid a weak symbol. As weak symbols are outside of the C standard
their use can lead to strange behaviors, in particular with LTO, as
well as causing issues to be hidden at link time.
