Subject: [PATCH] avoid failure on symbol provided by application

Upstream-Status: Pending

Undefined symbols in a library can be provided by the application
that links to the library, such as `logsink' in libmultipath.so.0.
This fix checks the type of object in which the symbol is needed
and the existence of the symbol in application, when a symbol
cannot be provided by libraries. It prevents false alarm on absence
of symbols.
