A script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian only contain
allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols.  This makes sure they are
still compatible with the minimum supported Linux distribution versions.

Example usage:

    find ../gitian-builder/build -type f -executable | xargs python contrib/devtools/symbol-check.py
