Hmm, it seems like glibc ldd does not (or at least does not always)
report symbols that can't be resolved. What seems to be happening is
that the above symbols are intended to be provided by the main program
(the perl interpreter) loading SysV.so rather than resolved via
library dependencies.
I hadn't really considered using ldd on .so files, only on main
programs where this would not be an issue.
If someone can help determine exactly what glibc ldd's behavior is
here (does it always ignore missing symbols? or only for .so files,
and if so, how does it distinguish .so file from main program?) it
should be easy to make musl's behavior match.
