gcc symbol names

[Al Niessner]

I modified the gcc/config/rs6000/vxppc.h to #undef NO_DOLLAR_IN_LABEL and
#define NO_DOT_IN_LABEL and it got rid of 90 some percent of the
difference.  There are a few left though (text below).   The second
column of nm (first column in the text below) the case of the letter is
different (neither the man nor info tell me what it is supposed to mean)
or just different letters.  The two at the end of the list are completely
different names.

Any suggestions on how to resolve these last few issues?

Any and all help is appreciated.  And thanks to Martin for helping me get
this far.
