You could add in a special case for specific symbols that are getting
stripped out for wierd reasons...  Since in this case, you know that
__divdi3 is being stripped, you could just add that as a special
case so it is always included in the final /lib/libc.so.6.

In this case -- I notice that objump seems to print different sizes for
this symbol when we query libext2fs and libc:

    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep __divdi3
    000c7230 g    DF .text  0000019f  GLIBC_2.0   __divdi3
    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libext2fs.so.2 | grep __divdi3
    00000000      DF *UND*  0000019e  GLIBC_2.0   __divdi3

As opposed to the rest of the symbols, which are the same size...

    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6  | grep "\<malloc\>"
    0004f0ec  w   DF .text  000001cd  GLIBC_2.0   malloc
    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libext2fs.so.2  | grep "\<malloc\>"
    00000000      DF *UND*  000001cd  GLIBC_2.0   malloc
    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6  | grep "\<printf\>"
    00043e54 g    DF .text  0000002f  GLIBC_2.0   printf
    [andersen@traveller book]$ objdump -T /lib/libext2fs.so.2  | grep "\<printf\>"
    00000000      DF *UND*  0000002f  GLIBC_2.0   printf

Pretty wierd...
