Dear maintainer,
SymbolsHelper is a useful tool but, but most of the time is unnecessary and
leads to a whole load of extra work, since it only whitelists/blacklists
architectures rather than looking for patterns. In this case, it looks like a
lot of these symbols should be using arch-bits=32 and arch-bits=64 rather than
whitelisting or blacklisting all the 64-bit architectures.

Regards,
James

Builds of nut for ia64 (admittedly not a release architecture) have
been failing with .symbols discrepancies, as detailed at [1].  Could
you please take a look?

Thanks!
