[OE-core] [PATCH] elfutils-native: Fix build on distros with gcc 4.8

The patch redhat-portability.diff causes this issue
so lets revert the portion which was using %a instead of %m
thats recommended anyway, redhat patch seems to be targetting
old compilers.

+This patch fixes a warning seen with gcc 4.8 (especially on ubuntu 13.10)

+| addr2line.c: In function 'handle_address':
+| addr2line.c:450:7: error: format '%a' expects argument of type 'float *', but argument 3 has type 'char **' [-Werror=format=]

+|        ^
+| cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
+
+
+%a is old GNU style and should be abandoned in favor of %m
+
+Also see
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54361
+
+to support this assertion
+
+This patch is added via redhat-compatibility patch so lets revert this part
+here.
