Cool! The raw data is the output of "nm" on the most important system libraries
(usually located in /lib or /usr/lib). Then it gets processed through some
appropriate platform dependent sed script, to produce a sorted list of symbols.

If you can send me the MacOS X 10.4 data? I have a MacOS X 10.5 machine. So I
can then do the update for both at the same time.

Other updates that would be interesting - does someone of you have access to
such a machine?
  - AIX 6.1
  - Cygwin 1.7
  - FreeBSD 7.0
  - NetBSD 5.0
  - HP-UX 11.31
  - NetBSD 5.0
  - OpenSolaris
