Well, it's not really only about Debian Med...

As usual.
Investigate why symbols disappear and decide what to do.
In case of symbols disappearing after changing the compiler, most likely
those symbols were weak and only leaked an implementation detail, and so
they need to be marked as "optional".
For example:

These are fine, dpkg-gensymbols is only being noisy here.

same.

same.

Those ones probably come from a previous iteration, like gcc5→gcc6 or
gcc6→gcc7.

This is the actual error.

Yes, these are symbols that leaked through, so they can (and should) be
marked as "optional".
