They won't work until some reference files are installed, subdir/libfoo.abilist for each libfoo.so we build. So start by touch locale/libBrokenLocale.abilist et al, and then check-abi should show you diffs containing the whole .symlist with +s, and update-abi will work. I had intended to get some initial reference lists in shortly after my first posting, but I've been sick this week. > For which platforms will you do the lists yourself - and for which do > you need help? Not sure yet.
