Description

BCC doesn't parse PLT entries for symboling now. This is causing unnecessary unknown symbols in production runs. We should support that.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating BCC's symbol-parsing path and its handling of PLT entries, then reproduce the unknown-symbol behavior in a production-like run. Done means PLT symbols are parsed and the unnecessary unknown symbols no longer appear.
