+A script to check that release executables only contain certain symbols and are only linked against

 For Linux this means checking for allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols.
 This makes sure they are still compatible with the minimum supported distribution versions.
 
 For macOS and Windows we check that the executables are only linked against libraries we allow.
 
-Example usage after a gitian build:
-
-    find ../gitian-builder/build -type f -executable | xargs python3 contrib/devtools/symbol-check.py

 If no errors occur the return value will be 0 and the output will be empty.
 
 If there are any errors the return value will be 1 and output like this will be printed:
