Try using "nm -D" (which lists symbols in the table used for dynamic 
linking) rather than "nm" (which lists symbols used for debugging).  
Older libtool had a broken -export-symbols-regex implementation for 
Linux that stripped debugging information rather than modifying the 
dynamic symbol table.

   $ nm libgtk-x11-2.0.so | grep _gtk | wc -l
       443
   $ nm -D libgtk-x11-2.0.so | grep _gtk | wc -l
       423
