    I don't know, but it seems that this happens when updating glibc package,
    the version is same but revision is different. Also, in the Ubuntu, I saw
    all symbols has been moved to .dynsym in older glibc.
    Thus I guess that this depends on the build option or configuration.
    Might Fedora change the packaging script?

    Thank you,
