>Description:
Local symbols in main() are not found ('No symbol "xxx" in current context.'). argc and argv are OK. Local symbols in other functions are OK.
Fix described in Bug #1870 does not work.
Function lookup_minimal_symbol() does not find the symbol. "nm -a" does not show the symbol, "readelf -a --debug-dump <prog>" finds the symbol:
