Generally, entering the unknown funtion into "google" will turn
up results rather quickly.

In this case, uClibc has a weak symbol "wait" that by default
points to __libc_wait, but can be overridden (for example by
the pthreads library). So I suppose you should also add the weak
symbols to your list (nm shows them as type "W").

Things that start with "_" and "__" and are internal use only
symbols, so you can safely ignore them.
