I meant "UND in the .o file". That is the effect of the change you asked me about, as I understand it: to give the UND symbol hidden visibility. I am struggling to understand the line of argument here. Are you saying you don't think this is a bug? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
