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
