What about the symbols marked with ??? in libgcc-std.ver?  They need to
either go or not, now.

  # Basic block profile symbols.
  # ??? Some of these are for `-a', which ought to die.
  __bb
  __bb_exit_func
  __bb_fork_func
  __bb_init_func
  __bb_init_trace_func
  __bb_trace_func
  __bb_trace_ret

  # ??? Symbols that perhaps unused should be nuked.
  __builtin_saveregs
  __clear_cache
  __dummy
  __empty
  __eprintf
  __gcc_bcmp
