There is no easy answer to your question.  A few possibilities:

- If only a few symbols are in your way, write sed scripts, which
  replace them with something different.  Eg.:

	s/\(^|[^a-zA-Z_0-9]\)circf\($|[^a-zA-Z_0-9]\)/PG_&/g

  and apply them to all affected files of the source tree.

- Get the "binutils" source code (from the GCC/src directory 
  of almost any linux ftp server) and hack the "strip" command
  so it allows to specify a set of symbol names, which should
  not be stripped.
