Meanwhile in the GCC build directory the same shell command yields
something quite different:

So the difference boils down to "C" vs "S".
According to "man nm" on this system
"C" is "common"
"S" is "other section not listed above"
I don't know much about visibility attributes and so can't follow the path
any further without some instructions to follow. (Though I will read the
PGI manpages for anything related to common vs noncommon symbols).
Hopefully those are the droids you're looking for,
