While there isn't such a thing as an 'ELF spec', it is noted in the
System V ABI spec, while discussing symbol tables, that "External C
symbols have the same names in C and in object files' symbol tables."

However, I can't preclude the possibility of the Super-H architecture
supplement (is there one?) overruling this statement in favor of a
prefix.  (Neither is the note quoted from the MI spec shall-ified.)
