The patch tool will apply patches by default with "fuzz", which is where if the
hunk context isn't present but what is there is close enough, it will force the
patch in.
Whilst this is useful when there's just whitespace changes, when applied to
source it is possible for a patch applied with fuzz to produce broken code which
still compiles (see #10450). This is obviously bad.
We'd like to eventually have do_patch() rejecting any fuzz on these grounds. For
that to be realistic the existing patches with fuzz need to be rebased and
reviewed.

Undefined symbols in a library can be provided by the application
that links to the library, such as `logsink' in libmultipath.so.0.
This fix checks the type of object in which the symbol is needed
and the existence of the symbol in application, when a symbol
cannot be provided by libraries. It prevents false alarm on absence
of symbols.
