No, I just run "make lib" in build/hurd-i386-libc/

Ah, do your changes add some RPCs? Then that part is expected. The
symbols stuff is precisely meant to catch such changes.

I guess this is also due to changes? Same answer: dropping symbols in a
lib is something of high importance that symbol lists help to catch.

Making them a best-effort would mean that some programs using them would
get broken when they are removed. We don't really want that :)
