Jan,

Looks good to me.

That being said, it looks like the underlying versions of CreateSymbols 
are somewhat different in 11u and 15, which is confirmed by looking at 
the Frames view in the webrevs for mainline and for the backport. The 
differences seem enough that backporting patches seems more 
questionable.  I know we don't backport symbol changes often, but if we 
get to do it again, it might be worth looking at whether we can make the 
different versions of the tool more similar.
