Rewrote so that the sqlite.def -> sqlite.symbols diff is simpler to review.

Not a problem.

All that actually says is that we can probably remove the "_PR_*" entry from the symbols file without any problem.
Didn't feel like filing a separate bug for this.

I'm not the biggest fan of adding this to rules.mk - I'd prefer writing it to backend.mk from recursivemake.py. But I'll allow it.

Remove _PR_* symbols from nss.symbols

Review of attachment 8702460 [details] [diff] [review]:

Not sure if I fully grok the implications of this since I'm not intimate with the C++ and 3rd party linking side of things. But not exporting "internal" symbols sounds reasonable to me.

One concern I have is for plugin and 3rd party app compatibility. I reckon if there is fallout we can revert this easily. Flagging bsmedberg in case he has an opinion.

Note the only affected symbols are _PR_<architecture>_Atomic{Decrement,Set,Add,Increment}, they are not exposed in public headers, have a different name on each architecture, and have a public API: PR_Atomic{Decrement,Set,Add,Increment}.

Remove _PR_* symbols from nss.symbols

If this doesn't break our build, it should be fine.
