Yes : that is the case :
 readelf -Ws /usr/local/vni/CTT3.0/lib/lib.linux/libimslcmath.so | grep 
__ctype_
   245: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __ctype_b
   935: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __ctype_tolower
  3561: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __ctype_b
  4404: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  UND __ctype_tolower
