[PATCH v3] buildtools: fix invalid symbols

[Mingjin Ye]

In scenarios where a higher clang compiler is used and ASAN is enabled,
the generated ELF file will additionally insert undefined debug symbols
with the same prefix. This causes duplicate C code to be generated.

This patch fixes this issue by skipping the unspecified symbol type.
