Yes, that is the case on almost all platforms.
And the compiler *automatically* puts leading underscores on symbols on all
those platforms already.
So the question remains: why are you using -fleading-underscores?
-fleading-underscore is intended for use on platforms that *don't* require a
leading underscore (e.g. ppc), where you might for special reasons want to
force the symbols to have an underscore anyway.

Yes, but as you yourself explain, the symbols already have leading
underscores, and when you use -fleading-underscore, because it fails to
consistently add *extra* underscores.
So: why are you using -fleading-underscores?
