I did... See: 175055 175059 180679 180678 187343 187344 187345 187346
187347 187348 187349 187350 187351 187353 187354 187355 187356 187357

This is the script I use to look for missing symbols:

#!/bin/sh -e

LIBDIRS="/lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib"

FILES=$(find $LIBDIRS -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.so*' | sort \
	| xargs grep --files-with-matches $1)

for file in $FILES; do
#	echo "		checking $file"
	if nm --dynamic "$file" | grep " [^U] ${1}$"; then
		echo $file
#		break
	fi
done

exit 0
# A absolute
# B BSS (uninitialized data section)
# C common (uninitialized data)
# D initialized data section
# G initialized data section for small objects
# N debugging symbol
# R read only data section
# S uninitialized data section for small objects
# T text (code)
# U undefined
# V weak object
# W weak symbol that has not been specifically tagged as a weak object symbol
