Entries *can* have a "?" to indicate they are optional (although avoiding 
the PLT reference is better - see how include/string.h does asm 
redirection of mempcpy and stpcpy, or likewise in 
sysdeps/wordsize-32/divdi3-symbol-hacks.h, for example).

In that case, there should be a #error in bits/endian.h, or a 
configure-time error, or something like that, to make clear the glibc port 
does not support BE.
