I noticed that those types of errors showed up in a couple of the buildd
logs after the last upload. It's because this is a C++ library that
exports a C interface. Most of the C++ symbols are marked as optional
in the symbols file, but it's hard to catch all of them because they
vary between architectures. My long term plan is to copy something I've
seen in libpoppler-glib and use a regex to mark all C++ symbols as
optional, but I didn't think in a freeze was a good time to do that.
