Description Aurelien Jarno 2009-05-26 07:32:07 UTC 
The tests from nptl_db/db-symbols.awk assume that the 8th column of the readelf 
output represents the symbol names. This is not true on some architectures (at 
least on alpha), where some columns might be added for some symbols.

A patch which uses the last column instead (the one which is supposed to hold 
the symbol) will follow.
