Actually this is deliberate. It is intended to help make readelf's
output more readable.

Sorry this patch is not acceptable as is. The old behaviour needs to
be retained somhow. Please consider either creating a new command
line switch to enable the display of full length symbol names, or else
attaching the ability to the already existing --wide switch.
Cheers
