The libraries are stripped, they only contain symbols that are
required for dynamic linking and relocation processing:

broccoli:~$ nm -D /usr/lib/libc.so | tail -10
000582b0 T yp_master
00057970 T yp_match
00057dbc T yp_next
00058168 T yp_order
000578f4 T yp_unbind
00057088 T ypbinderr_string
000584fc T yperr_string
00058624 T ypprot_err
00094c70 B ypresp_allfn
00094c68 B ypresp_data

See nm(1).
