ok In fact my symbols where alphabetically sorted using the mangled names.
then I used the c++filt method to generate the un-mangled file.
It was my mistake :).
Nevertheless once you added the tags it is no more possible to sort the file
automatically... So the patch becomes sort of "useless" as a patch, it is
informative

But when you have hundred's of symbols optional symbols it is
very convenient to use
(optional) #include "xxx.symbols.optional"
instead of writing (optional) for each symbols.
Do you know if there is some documentation about the implementation details
which
depends of each arch. I suppose that we all face the same problems once
we try to use the symbols files. (ex. Why do I have va_list on this arch and
__va_list_arg
on the other one. Ha! ok this is an implementation detail...
See you
