Comment (by jmroot):

 The `__.SYMDEF` or `__.SYMDEF SORTED` files are the archive table of
 contents as created by `ar s`/`ranlib` (see the docs on the `-s` and `-a`
 options in the libtool manual for the difference). Those are definitely
 supposed to exist as archive members, I just don't know if any special
 handling of them may have previously happened. I can see how there could
 be problems if you extract one archive with a `__.SYMDEF` and one with a
 `__.SYMDEF SORTED` and then add all their contents to a new archive. I
 guess only one is treated as a table of contents and then the other looks
 like an an invalid object file.
