Subject: gen_abi.sh: filter out symbols not needed for ABI

gdb does not allow to print definitions of certain section names
and special symbols used for dynamic loading machinery:

__bss_start
_edata
_init
_fini
_end

Please note the space before the pattern, it is needed to avoid
hungry matches of valid symbols with these as substrings (foo_init,
for example).

Without this patch gdb on Fedora 18 breaks when attempting to print
function and struct signature.
