Thanks, I've applied the patch.  Although I see 26 plts go...

I've told somebody at Sun about this and hopefully they stop writing
such stupid code in future.

That's the intention.  So far I only have a few symbols which need to be
kept.  The malloc functions are the only official ones.  There are a few
more internal symbols.

I'll try to create a list of those which need to go.  Hopefully this
will encourage people to help finishing the work.  This is a very
time-consuming work which is why I haven't done all that already.
