Hi Eliot,

Do you know what is the name of the totally different symbol? (maybe from nm -D)

I wrote a "findit" utility a while back - it would be interesting if it gave the
same answer for both symbols. If you would git clone
https://github.com/duncan-roe/command_line_tools, cd to the findit subdirectory
and enter "make" then you will have it.

Example use:
> 21:23:15$ ./findit cygwin1.dll printf
> Found printf in cygwin1.dll at 0x18012ecbe
> 21:24:37$

HTH ... Duncan.
