First and foremost, the `make/data/hotspot-symbols` directory is, as the name says, for hotspot symbols. These are not hotspot symbols. If you really do need the file, then it needs to reside in a proper location.

Secondly: do you really need this file? It looks just like an enumeration of (a subset of?) standard library functions. This looks like a completely incorrect solution to the problem. How did you arrive at this list? What if in the future new functions are added to the standard library?
