The arm64 binutils only accepts 0 as an offset to the Load-Acquire Register
instructions where llvm will acceps both 0 and 0x0. The thread switching
code uses these with SCHED_ULE to block waiting for a lock to be released.
As the offset of the data to be loaded is zero this is safe, however it is
useful to keep the offset in the instruction to document what is being
loaded.
To work around this issue in binutils only generate the 0x prefix for
non-zero values.

o Use objdump instead of gensetdefs(1) to build the linker sets.
o Allow overriding of nm and objdump in resp. genassym.sh and
gensetdefs.pl for non-native toolchains.

Symbol values are now represented using array sizes (4 arrays per symbol
so that 16-bit machines can represent 64-bit values) instead of being raw
binary values.
