ast external symbols are bracketed in the headers by something like:
#if _BLD_foo && defined(__EXPORT__)
#define __MANGLE__ ...
or
#define extern ...
#endif
...
#undef __MANGLE__
or
#undef extern
we also have the proto(1) command that may be able to produce the list
do you need the complete prototypes or just the names?
also, there may be some _* symbols shared between ast library
functions but not exported in .so's/.dll's -- are those needed?

__EXTERN__ is used for data symbols in src implementations
are you referring to __EXPORT__ (and/or __IMPORT__) ?
