I was able to reproduce it on the GCC compile farm -- which, BTW, has a
64-core PPC box, quite nice to work on :-)

The old code used lookup_minimal_symbol, which falls back to file-local
symbols and trampoline symbols if the main symbol is not found.

The new code rejects these, though.

I am looking into how to fix it.
