* If no file passed to the linker contains the symbol, it will have

*
* In C using IMPORT_SYMBOL, you must specify the declaration as the
* second argument, for instance
*
* @code
* IMPORT_SYMBOL ( my_func, int my_func ( int arg ) );
* IMPORT_SYMBOL ( my_var, int my_var );
*
* void use_imports ( void ) {
* if ( my_func && &my_var )
* my_var = my_func ( my_var );
* }
* @endcode
*
* GCC considers a weak declaration to override a strong one no matter
* which comes first, so it is safe to include a header file declaring
* the imported symbol normally, but providing the declaration to
* IMPORT_SYMBOL is still required.
*
* If no EXPORT_SYMBOL declaration exists for the imported symbol in
* another file, the behavior will be most likely be identical to that
* for an unavailable symbol.
