It is generated in ada-specific code. Just FYI, here is our ada-specific
lookup function, which is hooked into the language vector:

    struct symbol *
    ada_lookup_symbol ([snip])
    { 
      [snip]
      n_candidates = ada_lookup_symbol_list (ada_mangle (ada_fold_name (name)),
                                             block0, namespace, &candidates);
      
      if (n_candidates == 0)
        return NULL;
      else if (n_candidates != 1)
        user_select_syms (candidates, n_candidates, 1);  <<<-----
      [snip]
    }

user_select_syms causes the menu to appear...

That's a good idea, I think. Lookup the minsym.... Hmmm, let me explore
this path. Thanks!
