[Bug 1173] New: libchk reporting false positives

Message-ID <[email protected]>
the tests "1.4.1) Make sure we found a named symbol at all." and "1.4.3) Make 
sure we found a named symbol at all." are reporting false positives, since they 
try to resolve symbols from the virtual table in a library. Since virtual 
methods can be inline, they don't have to have a symbol, thus libchk complains 
about each of them. 
 
1.4.1 and 1.4.3 have been disabled until we find a way to distinguish between 
"the symbol is not there because it's a bug" and "the symbol is not there 
because it's inline". 
 
One possible solution would be to have a "inline" flag in the spec db, and skip 
1.4.1 and 1.4.3 tests if it is set.
