+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.

+Subject: [PATCH] Show GNU unique symbols as provided symbols
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted
+
+GNU Unique symbol is a GNU extension employed by new version of GCC
+by default. Even Standard C++ library in GCC 4.9 provides some symbols,
+such as _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE in this binding type instead
+of ELF standard weak binding.
+This patch adds support of this new binding type to mklibs-readelf.
