I found the problem. Ubuntu (Hardy) installs mawk as default awk process, and
mawk can't deal with the /^extern[[:space:]]/ line in the sdksym.sh script, so
the symbol table is always empty. Installing gawk fixes the problem. I'm not
sure if that still affects newer Ubuntu versions, but maybe we can put a check
in for that?
