This was intentional, as my understanding of the historical behavior
on other implementations was that it would do this. If that's
incorrect we should investigate and document (or find existing
documentation of) what they really do.

OK, I found that part in the man page.

Not all symbols have st_size set. In that case the old "best match"
behavior should probably be kept unless there's a strong reason not
to.

This is missing a ; so it seems you tested a slightly different patch..?

Otherwise this looks ok but I haven't tested it.
