But do we need such a list, or would just ignoring all absolute symbols 
suffice?

At present, abilist.awk shows such symbols with a type of "A".  Apart from 
symbol version names, _gp_disp seems to be the only such symbol.  Is there 
any need to have the "A" lines for each symbol version in the abilist 
files?
