I see what you're saying, and I see why the code is doing this
incorrectly.  The test should really be `#if defined(USCORE) &&
!defined(DLSYM_ADDS_USCORE)' to decide whether an underscore should be
added.  I'm testing such a change now and will commit it if it appears
to work.

I think Marius's suggestion was right: the tests would be clearer if
they said "DLSYM_NEEDS_USCORE" rather than "DLSYM_ADDS_USCORE".

Thanks for explaining the problem!

love, T.
