+Subject: [PATCH] Add useful error when symbol resolution fails
+
+Currently if symbol resolution fails, we get:
+```js
+TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apply')
+```
+It is very hard for newcomers to Emscripten to recognize this as a
+symbol resolution error. Even for people experienced with this message,
+it has the annoyance that it doesn't give any hint as to which symbol
+went missing.
+
+This adds a descriptive error message with the name of the missing
+symbol.
