This is easy:

cd /usr/lib; nm -o librump* | fgrep "T rumpns__run_once"

tells me that they come from librump.so.

This is more tricky, it should not happen - mutex_init is the name of the
kernel symbol, but inside of rump it should be called rumpns_mutex_init.

There is a awk script (or something like that) playing the rename games,
maybe awk is slightly broken on alpha? But I never noticed anything special
(though I am mostly using -current).
