Upstream states that nlist.h is a problem in Debian as well, and actually
recommends not including the header in the RPM.  Removing the function from the
library is not recommended as doing so would change the ABI, so upstream will
remove it at the next SOVERSION bump.  At this point since I've already moved
the header out of harm's way per Ralf's request, I'm inclined to leave it in
the RPM until it is removed upstream.  It is also mentioned that nlist does not
have a link order issue since libbsd and elfutils-libelf are both versioned.
