Thanks Ashley, that did work, though I must say that %define __strip
/bin/true is NOT very intuitive!
I did get my symbols in the needed libraries, but unfortunately, at
least for the compiler I used to build, I still have a typedef
undefined, and that also prevents that method of launching TV. But we
have our own workarounds for that.
Cheers,

This is a standard rpm feature although like most things it can be disabled.
According to this mail and it's replies the two %defines below will prevent
striping and the building of debuginfo rpms.

%define debug_package %{nil}
%define __strip /bin/true

I have a user who prefers building rpm's from the srpm. That's okay, but for
debugging via TotalView it creates a version with the openmpi .so files
stripped and we can't gain control of the processes when launched via mpirun
-tv. I've verified this with my own build of a 1.4.1 rpm which I then
installed and noticed the same behavior that the user reports. I was hoping to
give them some advice as to how to avoid the stripping, as it appears that the
actual build of those libraries is done with -g and everything looks fine. But
I can't figure out in the build (from the log file I created) just where that
stripping takes place, or how to get around it if need be. The best guess I
have is that it may be happening at the very end when an rpm-tmp file is
executed, but that file has disappeared so I don't really know what it does. I
thought it might be apparent in the spec file, but it's certainly not apparent
to me! Any help or advice would be appreciated.
