The script expects each of the symbols that it looks for to
be in one of three sections, which in nm(1) are described as
follows:
T - The symbol is in the text (code) section.
B - The symbol is in the BSS data section. This section
typically contains zero-initialized or uninitialized
data, although the exact behavior is system dependent.
D - The symbol is in the initialized data section.
When building on alpha, however, some of the symbols show up
in one of two additional sections, specifically:
S - The symbol is in an uninitialized or zero-initialized
data section for small objects.
G - The symbol is in an initialized data section for small
objects.
In other words, S is the same as B and G is the same as D,
except with some optimization for small objects that for some
reason is applied on alpha but not on other architectures.
I have confirmed that, for all the symbols that the script
complained about being missing on alpha, the section is the
expected one, that is, symbols that are reported as B on x86
are reported as S on alpha, and symbols that are reported as
D on x86 are reported as G on alpha.
Note that, while the B section doesn't seem to be used at all
on alpha, at least in our case, the D section still is.
