Here is where the symbol is coming from:
[root@xwin /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions]# find . -name
\*.o | while read X; do nm "$X" | grep _Z6strlenPKc && echo $X; done
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/misc/thread.o
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/log/log.o
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/path/RTPathAbsEx.o
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/path/RTPathAppend.o
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/string/strformattype.o
U _Z6strlenPKc
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/RuntimeGuestR0/common/string/string.o
[root@xwin /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions]#
And here are some presumed source files:
[root@xwin /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions]# find . -name
thread.c\*
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/src/VBox/Runtime/common/misc/thread.cpp
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/src/VBox/Additions/x11/VBoxClient/thread.cpp
./work/VirtualBox-3.1.2_OSE/src/libs/xpcom18a4/nsprpub/pr/src/cplus/tests/thread.cpp
[root@xwin /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions]#
src/VBox/Runtime/common/misc/thread.cpp contains:
#include <iprt/string.h>
include/iprt/string.h has this:
#elif defined(RT_OS_FREEBSD) && defined(_KERNEL)
# include <sys/libkern.h>
It seems sys/libkern.h is C namespace but thread.cpp or iprt/string.h
isn't using extern "C" to make it that.
