A minute with a search engine will tell you this symbol is included
in the standard glibc, and is a hook into early program runtime provided
by sysdeps/generic/initfini.c

This is part of GCC's libgcc library, and is defined in the crtstuff.c
file.

http://www.google.com/codesearch/ is an easy way to find the code
where symbols you are interested in originate.

If you're referring to things like these:

setrlimit@GLIBC_2.0
msgctl@GLIBC_2.0

That is library symbol versioning, a feature of linux's linker, most often
used by glibc. http://people.redhat.com/drepper/symbol-versioning
