Package: binutils-gold
Version: 2.20-1
Severity: normal

I've tested many packages with gold linker and noticed that it creates a 
unknown symbol for every library I tested. I don't know for what it is but 
either dpkg-gensymbols has to stop to add it to the symbols file or binutils-
gold has to stop to export it as symbol that looks like it was exported by the 
user.

Example output from zlib:

dpkg-gensymbols: warning: debian/lib32z1/DEBIAN/symbols doesn't match 
completely debian/lib32z1.symbols
