That's very nice.

And it makes an interesting read.  There are some symbols high
up on the list - open64 and lseek64 for example - that are kind
of "phony" - there are among the ones that are in both libc and
in libpthread, but we only define the latter, so if an app
shows as using the libc one it turns up here as "missing".

hstrerror shows up high on the list, but is considered "obsolete".
(we have it marked as a candidate).

madvise is high on the list, but we do have posix_madvise.

sysinfo is  quite popular too.

More detailed analysis some other time.
