Of your original list, according to `nm -D` on Future/AsyncAwait.so,
here's what I am using:

                 U Perl_lex_bufutf8
                 U Perl_lex_peek_unichar
                 U Perl_lex_read_space
                 U Perl_lex_read_to
                 U Perl_lex_read_unichar

                 U Perl_parse_block
                 U Perl_parse_fullexpr
                 U Perl_parse_termexpr

                 U Perl_sv_free2

(some subset of these are also used by some of my other syntax modules)

Also the various #defines:

                   PadARRAY
                   PadMAX
                   PadlistARRAY
                   PadlistNAMES
                   PadnameLEN 
                   PadnameOUTER [wasn't on your original list but maybe should be?]
                   PadnamePV
                   PadnamelistARRAY
                   PadnamelistMAX

Also various variables:

                   PL_comppad
                   PL_curpad
                   PL_keyword_plugin

Also various static functions:

                   cx_pushblock
                   cx_pusheval

Additionally I would like

px	|LOGOP*	|alloc_LOGOP	|I32 type|NULLOK OP *first|NULLOK OP *other

but it isn't available on non-ELF so I had to copypaste a simpler
version of it.

Ah that'll be my fault, I was cargo-culting the prevailing structure of
the other ones.
