But do we need such a list, or would just ignoring all absolute symbols suffice? At present, abilist.awk shows such symbols with a type of "A". Apart from symbol version names, _gp_disp seems to be the only such symbol. Is there any need to have the "A" lines for each symbol version in the abilist files? -- Joseph S.
